Yesterday I was watching the sermon from my church online at home. It is the lazy way to go to church and I must admit I love it!

As I was watching the praise music I was looking at the praise team on stage and critiquing them in my mind. I was reviewing their fashion sense or lack of it, their weight gain or loss, their false eyelashes. Basically I was cutting them up with judgement, slicing them into morsels,so that in comparison, I could feel better about myself.

God kind of nudged me in my thoughts and reminded me that the reason those people were on stage was to praise Him. It wasn’t for me to analyze, critique and judge them. It wasn’t about me. It was about Him.

Made me think for a moment about how many thoughts I have wasted in my life judging others. I am not one to gossip and judge others in spoken word but my thoughts are riddled with arrogance, considering myself better than others. It is disgusting to me and I am sure God detests it.

When the Bible talks about the seven things that God hates, the first on the list is haughty eyes. I believe while I was watching the praise music I was watching with haughty eyes. God doesn’t hate me, I know that, but I also know that he hates it when I look at people with haughty eyes.

Once I repented of this, I watched the sermon and was truly blessed. I have provided the link for anyone who was not able to attend a sermon this week or for those who want to be blessed. http://gatewaypeople.com/live/stream/SLK/high
