What is Your Motive and Demeanor?

Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another. Galatians 5:26 NKJV

*This is one of the main issues that I see amongst believers: The spirit of envy, trying to compete with one another, and always questioning each in order to make the other person feel bad. Since when did God award people to be the judge and jury? Why do people provoke each other, rather than be a listening ear and help each other? What is the point in competing when we are all in the race together?...No sin holds less weight than the next. Today, I encourage you to evaluate how you carry yourself. Are you always looking for faults? Do you care or just waiting to respond and pick at others? What is your real motive?

Using Wisdom

“Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles? Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Therefore by their fruits you will know them. Matthew 7:15‭-‬20 NKJV

*This is a biblical example of us being able to judge based on what a person does vs what they say. So many people say we are not suppose to judge...Yeah, you're not allowed to judge sin, and pray for the person. However, we are allowed to judge character and whether we choose to deal with people on different levels...This is referred to as judging the fruit they produce. If you don't evaluate character, you can't determine who is capable of completing a job, who is sent from God into your life vs who isn't, and you will always be fooled. Are you allowing God to lead you to the RIGHT people, or do you deal with any and everyone without using God's wisdom?
