Resolutions for the New Year - #1

“Who is blind but my servant, or deaf as my messenger?” Isaiah 42:19

It is a new year and we might continue to make a few resolutions. Today’s verse was a prophecy about Christ, but since Christians are supposed to be little Christs, it can apply to us as well. So how do we get a resolution from this passage? Let’s consider what we do with our eyes. We see and judge others. There are certainly things we can judge, those being specific sins that God has declared in His Word to be sins. That’s it. But we too often see others and make judgments by what we see and think and not by what God has said.

But we don’t just judge by what we see. We too often listen to the judgments that others have made and buy into their judgments ourselves. We hear what we shouldn’t be listening to. That too is wrong and we need to be deaf to gossip. God has set the standards by which we can judge. Let’s resolve to leave all other judgments to God.

Dear Father, Help us this year to be less judgmental. Amen.
