This is the day.

Exodus 28:30 And thou shalt put in the breastplate of judgment the Urim and the Thummim; and they shall be upon Aaron's heart, when he goeth in before the LORD: and Aaron shall bear the judgment of the children of Israel upon his heart before the LORD continually.
The thought today is this, how do you judge?  Many people want to say, "judge not," and go about their merry way as though they can do what they want and never be wrong.  The Bible does teach of judgment, however.  Aaron had the oversight of judgment in Israel, and he judged from his heart.  The tools of judgment came from Aaron's heart, and were guided by the Lord.  When Aaron judged he had God's direction and the right tools which came from his heart.  When we judge others, we must also have the right tools.  People do tend to do wrong things, and, therefore, judgments must be made.  However, if we are to judge others, it should be from our own hearts, and through the leading of God.  If we allow God to guide our hearts, and to direct our judgments, then those judgments will always be righteous, and will be pleasing to God.
