You can't even be charged with any wrong because God has justified you. That means you were found not guilty in God's court. Think about it. How can you be guilty of anything if Jesus has given you His righteousness? (see 2 Corinthians 5:21)

This is useful for our everyday lives, perhaps especially as election time approaches, as well as our lives in the Church.

Don't let the enemy make you think that something is wrong with you. You are not being singled out by God. You are not being punished. You are not being cursed.

It feels like humility to tell ourselves that we cannot know what God is doing, what His plans are, what awaits us when we pass from temporal life.

Jesus was talking to the Pharisees. These guys were institutional religion personified. These folks wanted everyone to live by their rules and if they didn't the Pharisees condemned them. They taught that obedience to the Law was what made people righteous and put them in right standing with God.

Father counsels us to fill our minds with good input. It is not necessary for us to give place to worldly rumors, conspiracies, and predictions. We can choose to fill our minds with what is good and godly. We can scroll past negativity. We can unsubscribe from sources of ill feelings. We can cancel our appointments with serial purveyors of doom and gloom. The Kingdom, we are told in Romans 14:17, is “righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit.”

Run to Papa. At His throne, you will find mercy and grace to help you.
