Wisdom

Good morning everyone,
It is a beautiful day today.  Sorry,  I'm late this morning, with the email.  I am moving a tard bit slow.  Morning came way too quickly, I was not ready.  The girls went to Barnes and Noble with friends, so I was able to catch up, thankfully.
Here is a question, that needs pondering and also action.  Why do we find it so easy to be judgmental about others?  I know the Bible tells us not to judge; Matthew 7:1Judge not, that ye be not judged.  I guess the real question or problem is that we judge others, yet we do the exact same thing and do not see it.  We do not see our selves, perhaps because we do not wish to.  This got me to something else we tend to do as ladies... I know I am not the only one.  We are fixers... We fix things, people, situations.  We fix... Perhaps that's in line with our title as 'helpmates'. Just a thought.
Anyway, here is another verse from my standard as a woman;  Proverbs 31:26 She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness.
Now, if I applied that verse to my life in the literal sense, there would be no judging of others, because I would seek God's council before speaking.  But because of my sin nature, I give over to my instinct of speaking and sayings things in a rather judgmental manner, because people are not  aligning with my personal standard.  Isn't that sad, and disheartening?  There are so many verses  that remind us of the evil of the tongue.
Today is Friday, how have we used this member of our body through out this week?  Did we open our mouth with wisdom and kindness?  Or were we swift to speak?  James 1:19 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath.
I love my God, because He is quick with new beginnings.  He waits for me to confess my sins, and He then hands over a clean slate, a new beginning.  Yea...Gimme that God (Kirk Franklin). Take advantage of such unfailing love and unwavering mercy and forgiveness.  Let us begin again.  Remind ourselves to be 'slow to speak'. Let us cushion our words with kindness, especially to those we love the most...harder to do, because we expect too much... Love you more, have a blessed day.
