Proverbs - Get Judgment

Proverbs 29:26

Many seek the ruler's favour; but every man's judgment cometh from the Lord.


Sometimes we look to people to tell us whether we are doing a good job or not.  We could expect our husband’s approval or a friend’s warm response but it is much better to go before the Lord and get His judgment of the matter.  How do we get this judgment?  One way is to lie in bed at night and review the day before the Lord is prayer.  Bring our relationships and responsibilities before Him and seek His evaluation.  A scripture might come to mind regarding a situation.  This is God speaking.  It could be a verse that affirms and approves or one that rebukes and corrects.  It could be a verse that directs us for the next day or maybe we might just sense the Holy Spirit grieving or the mind of Christ approving.   We can pray after a task or ministry and ask the Lord to reveal His judgment on it.  Remember not to just listen for what you might have done wrong but be open to His joy and gladness over your works.  He is a good Father and good fathers give lots of praise and encouragement.
