In this episode, “Fixing Our Eyes on Him,” I share encouragement from the scriptures on not comparing ourselves to or judging others. Instead, we’re to fix our eyes on Him and rejoice with those who rejoice (sharing in their joy).

.

II Corinthians 10:12 calls those who compare themselves with one another “without understanding; lacking wisdom; behaving like fools.”

.

Matthew 7:1 KJV - Judge not, that ye be not judged.

.

Matthew 7:1 TPT - Refuse to be a critic full of bias toward others…

.

Matthew 7:1-5 MSG - “Don’t pick on people, jump on their failures, criticize their faults—unless, of course, you want the same treatment. That critical spirit has a way of boomeranging. It’s easy to see a smudge on your neighbor’s face and be oblivious to the ugly sneer on your own. Do you have the nerve to say, ‘Let me wash your face for you,’ when your own face is distorted by contempt? It’s this whole traveling road-show mentality all over again, playing a holier-than-thou part instead of just living your part. Wipe that ugly sneer off your own face, and you might be fit to offer a washcloth to your neighbor.

.

Psalm 37:4 KJV - Delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart.

.

Romans 12:15 KJV - Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep.

.

Romans 12:15 AMP - Rejoice with those who rejoice [sharing others’ joy], and weep with those who weep [sharing others’ grief].

.

Isaiah 26:3 ESV - You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts in you.
