Flawed Impressions

Read Joshua 22:10-34

Reflection of Tommy:

Very often we are quick to judge a person by mere first impression they gave to us. By assuming the worst about the intentions of others only brings trouble, misunderstandings and unnecessary conflict.

Like Phinehas in today’s passage who led a delegation to learn the truth, we too need to always seek ways to learn and hear more of the whole story before jumping into conclusions and reacting in the wrong way.

Dear Father, thank You for reminding me not to be quick in judging others but to seek open communication when interacting with others. Forgive me I pray that very often I failed to do that with my intolerant and unloving attitude; being a bad witness for Christ. Teach me to change that and to be more open to listen, learning more about a person or situation in resolving any conflicts that I may have. In Jesus’ Name I pray, Amen.
