Recently I've been attending several Middle School Boys Basketball games. This is my son's first year on the team and it brings back a lot of memories of when I played. In fact I've noticed some changes to the rules. On free throws the players line up in different areas. Also when someone takes a free throw nobody can move until the ball hits the basket. Those are just a few things I noticed, but it doesn't take away from how the game is played.
One thing that hasn't changed is referees. They still where the black and white uniforms. They makes bad calls and they miss other ones. It is frustrating that in every game I've watched these bad calls have happened. It is almost as if there uniform represents something about the person. One color, black, represents all these bad calls because of the human imperfection. While the other color, white, represents the purity of their calls. The referee never gets enough credit for all the calls he gets right.
When we judge things in our own eyes we have cloudy vision of what is reality.. Yet the Lord's judgement is what is pure and right. It is what Paul's point about being made righteous through faith, not the law.
Proverbs 16:2
2 All the ways of a man are pure in his own eyes,
but the Lord weighs the spirit.
