Thursday's Devotional - 5/07/2026

Good morning! By itself, this verse could mean a certain thing but I believe context is very important. In context, this verse talks about judging other Christians for what they eat or do not eat and what days they choose to celebrate or not celebrate. It's about judging their conduct as if we are God.

So, this verse stands out to say only God is God and He alone can judge and see the true reality of each one's heart. Rather we choose to eat certain things or not or celebrate certain days or not or observe certain things or not is between them and God. We are all the family of God if we be in Christ. All of us will stand before Christ in judgment to give an account for our lives.

Therefore, let Him be the judge and you worry about your own walk. Now, this isn't talking about sin, but personal choices. If someone doesn't eat meat, so what? If someone else does, what's it to you? If someone celebrates December 25th and another doesn't, who really cares? Work out your own salvation with fear and trembling and quit trying to be the Holy Spirit to others.

There are certain things I feel convicted not to have in my diet. It isn't legalism and I do not preach my conviction or put others on it. My wife can have it, I cannot. I don't push it on her to not have it and she doesn't tempt me to have it. We love each other the same. So it should be in the church. We will ALL stand before Jesus and ALL confess He is God. Work out your own salvation and let God be God to others as you make a great day!
