As for myself, I do not care if I am judged by you or by any human court. I do not even judge myself. I know of no wrong I have done, but this does not make me right before the Lord. The Lord is the One who judges me. 1 Cor 4:3-4
Interesting and strong words that Paul is writing to the church at Corinth. I read this whole chapter before sending this mini-message. How often do we let what others think of us drive our lives but hardly ever focus on what God thinks about us, not just on Sunday but 24 hours a day and 7 days a week. It is almost impossible for us not to care what others think of us but if we really focused our lives on what God thinks odf us we might be surprised that a lot of folks would be influenced by our lives. But in the long run, what counts is what God thinks!! Hayward
Prayer: LORD, so much of what I do is influenced by what others think, even when I am trying not to let it happen. Help me not be so concerned about what others think, but be more aware of what You think about me. I want my conscience to be clear with You and live in such a way that I am in right standing in our relationship, because that is what matters most! In Jesus' name, Amen.
