1 Corinthians 4:5 KJV
5 Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts: and then shall every man have praise of God.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I wonder how many of us actually knew the Word of God says that God will praise us. I’ve ‘read’ the Bible many times and yet never remember reading that scripture ~ like what Pastor Shane Klinkerman talked about last night. I was listening to KSBJ Evening Show Sunday night and that scripture came across but since I was driving I could not write it down and I requested the scripture – which he obliged me with. Pretty amazing too when you read the scripture in context.

1 Corinthians 4:1-7 ERV
Apostles of Christ Jesus
4 You should think of us as servants of Christ, the ones God has trusted to do the work of making known his secret truths. 2 Those who are trusted with such an important work must show that they are worthy of that trust. 3 But I don’t consider your judgment on this point to be worth anything. Even an opinion from a court of law would mean nothing. I don’t even trust my own judgment. 4 I don’t know of any wrong I have done, but that does not make me right. The Lord is the one who must decide if I have done well or not. 5 So don’t judge anyone now. The time for judging will be when the Lord comes. He will shine light on everything that is now hidden in darkness. He will make known the secret purposes of our hearts. Then the praise each person should get will come from God.
6 Brothers and sisters, I have used Apollos and myself as examples for you. I did this so that you could learn from us the meaning of the words, “Follow what the Scriptures say.” Then you will not brag about one person and criticize another. 7 Who do you think you are? Everything you have was given to you. So, if everything you have was given to you, why do you act as if you got it all by your own power?

Lord I ask that you bring the Word to life for me that I may understand & grow in You and be the light you planned me to be.
5 Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts: and then shall every man have praise of God.

Lord, help me to not judge or criticize anyone. You are the judge and I need to let you decide. I praise you that you are mighty and a God of second chances when I do judge and ask for forgiveness. The secret of my heart will be revealed in your time not mine, oh God. Amen.0
