Jas 4:11 Speak not evil one of another, brethren. He
that speaketh evil of his brother, and judgeth his brother, speaketh evil of
the law, and judgeth the law: but if thou judge the law, thou art not a doer of
the law, but a judge.
Jas 4:12 There is one lawgiver, who is able to save
and to destroy: who art thou that judgest another?
This is TRUTH!
Yet we don't seem to
hesitate to speak evil of one another. And by evil I mean speaking unkindly,
speaking untoward, speaking to degrade anyone in anyway, speaking to lift
yourself up while putting them down, speaking what is even true if it is
speaking to degrade someone is wrong! We try to justify our speaking evil of
one another. We convince ourselves that we are doing good, that we are doing
right, we are doing fine when we put another down rightfully so because WE are
right and THEY are wrong. They are dirt, we are less dirt. They are evil, we
are not so evil. They are hurtful and
hateful, vicious, and cruel, nasty, vile and we are not. They deserve to be out-ed as evil, while we
need to be the one out-ing them to reveal to them and all others around us that
we know they are evil.
The trouble with ALL
this is we are EVIL when we speak evil of another, so we are in essence just as
evil if not more evil than the one we are claiming is evil.
I'm NOT saying
people aren't evil and that people don't hurt us with their evil ways, they are
and they do, but we are NOT to meet evil with evil, not ever.
Satan would have us
think otherwise. Satan wants us to use evil to fight evil and try to call our
own evil good. Satan wants us to justify our actions, our words, our judging
but we CANNOT afford to do that! We cannot afford to use evil in anyway.
Please FATHER we
would not do evil! We don't want to judge one another! We are NOT judges! We
are not lawgivers! You are the Lawgiver! You are able to save and destroy!
Help us, please,
keep us from evil in all its forms!
All by the love and
grace of the LORD JESUS CHRIST OUR SAVIOR, now and forever!
AMEN
