Perfection of Character

Scripture

Isaiah 11:3 And He will delight in the fear of the Lord, And He will not judge by what His eyes see, Nor make a decision by what His ears hear;

Observation

Jesus does the Will of the Father, He didn't judge according to how someone looked or what they said, He judged according to righteousness, and what was just. He relied on the Father.

Application

Whenever anything happens to my children or grandchildren, there is an immediate reaction that comes upon me. Emotions start to present itself, I start to hurt for them, and I feel sorry that it had happened to them; whatever it is. Then I think about how unfair something may seem in my eyes, but how The Lord, with His infinite wisdom, knows exactly what is right. He holds the final say, Jesus will judge accordingly. Will there ever be a time that I will not worry? Probably not, but I know that I have Jesus, who never fails to know what is best and what is right.

Prayer

Thank You Lord for rescuing me from feeling entitled to do something when my loved ones, in my opinion, are treated unkind or unfairly. You know all things. I leave all of this to You with no question or doubt in my mind that all things will work together for the good, and in Your perfect timing.
