You know those people who get all involved in other people’s lives and business? Decide not to be that person. Keep your life simple. Focus on your own walk and that of those you are responsible to lead and guide. Leave the rest to God for only He fully sees their heart, motives and situation.
You only see an infinitesimal portion of any situation. To think you know it all from that very narrow vantage point is to operate from a perspective of pride at its fullest. Stay out of it. Judge not. Work out your own salvation!
For it is written:
“Judge not, that you be not judged. For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you. And why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye, but do not consider the plank in your own eye? Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me remove the speck from your eye’; and look, a plank is in your own eye? Hypocrite! First remove the plank from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.”
Jesus
Matthew 7:1-5
“Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall.”
Proverbs 16:18
“Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling; for it is God who works in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure.”
