Taking Up a Mirror (Meyer)

We know the saying \u201cyou can\u2019t judge a book by its cover\u201d and yet...we do that very thing all the time, don\u2019t we? We are a judgmental people and our judgments are often based on outward \u201cthings\u201d, the \u201cthings\u201d we think we know about the person we are judging. The Lord reminds us that there is only One Judge and He reminds us the the \u201cOne Judge\u201d ain\u2019t you! James writes it this way: \u201cThere is only one lawgiver and judge, he who is able to save and to destroy. But who are you to judge your neighbor?\u201d James 4:12. Today we remember to love the people around us no matter what, look in the mirror at our own fallen-ness and to let God be God. Today we therefore remember that our Christian faith is one of \u201cTaking Up A Mirror\u201d.
