Much criticism comes to leaders. They're in the spotlight... but honestly, who are we to judge. What standard do we judge others by? Our standards?
Verse 12 says that when we measure ourselves by our own standards- we're not wise.
How do leaders stand and continue their work in the midst of expected criticism?
How does Obama keep going when every single day he is literally graded by the public and scrutinized in every move?
How do ministers, servants in the Lord keep going even in the midst of criticism by people judging by their own opinion and standards?
Well, Paul knows something --
Verse 18 "For it is not the one who commends himself who is approved, but the one whom the Lord commends."
If you're feeling opposition or if you're the one opposing -- ask yourself: Would the LORD GOD be proud of you and support you?
Would He place His seal of approval on you or the person in question?
Really, that's all that matters.
