Day 30 - Luke 6:37-42

37 If you don’t want to be judged, don’t judge. If you don’t want to be condemned, don’t condemn. If you want to be forgiven, forgive. 38 Don’t hold back—give freely, and you’ll have plenty poured back into your lap—a good measure, pressed down, shaken together, brimming over. You’ll receive in the same measure you give.

39 Jesus told them this parable:

Jesus: What happens if a blind man leads a blind man? Won’t both of them fall into a pit? 40 You can’t turn out better than your teacher; when you’re fully taught, you will resemble your teacher.

41 Speaking of blindness: Why do you focus on the speck in your brother’s eye? Why don’t you see the log in your own? 42 How can you say to your brother, “Oh, brother, let me help you take that little speck out of your eye,” when you don’t even see the big log in your own eye? What a hypocrite! First, take the log out of your own eye. Then you’ll be able to see clearly enough to help your brother with the speck in his eye.

It is important to guard who you allow to mentor you or teach you.  You will become as they are.  If you are training to be a carpenter by someone who you don't like the style of work that they do then you are being trained by the wrong teacher.  You would look for someone who is going the direction you desire to go.  With social media we tend to have many teachers and mentors without even realizing it.  How often do we carefully filter the images, memes, articles and comments that we scroll past?  Are we taking everything in and expecting something positive to come out?  Do we even realize that we are allowed to disagree with what is in front of us and not let it take up brain space?  It is part of taking every though captive into obedience to Jesus Christ!  How strong is our filter?  Renewing our minds in the word of God regularly is a great place to begin to strengthen that filter!

I am already caught on verse 37.... Such good truth! Verse 38 is extremely relevant to me right now. I easily forget that God is the one who takes care of me, so I don't need to hoard my belongings like I'm prone to do.
