We're continuing to read through the Gospel of John. Today's reading is John 5:24-47.
-----
Judgment is the process of separating and selecting to arrive at a decision. How can you exercise righteous judgment?
Neutralize your own will. Admit that you do have a preferred outcome. Through prayer, get your personal preferences out of the way (Mt. 26:39).
Emphasize God's will. To do this you must wait for God's will, listen to God's will and execute God's will (Jam. 1:22).
Cultivate a listening ear. Learn to recognize God's voice (1 Sam 3:10). One of the biggest hindrances to righteous judgment is speed. Take your time. Get it right.
