Meddling?

God took us on a journey this morning in our prayer time.  (He usually does!)  We moved through...
 II Timothy 3:1-7, Matthew 7:13, II Corinthians 12:9, Malachi 3:16, James 1:26-27, Isaiah 66:8-13, James 4:9-10, James 4:7-12, Luke 9:62 and I Thessalonians 4:1-28
I've even linked with the version of the Bible we looked it up in.  Whew!

But the verse that stood out in my mind was this one:

"Don't bad-mouth each other, friends. It's God's Word, his Message, his Royal Rule, that takes a beating in that kind of talk. You're supposed to be honoring the Message, not writing graffiti all over it. God is in charge of deciding human destiny. Who do you think you are to meddle in the destiny of others?" 
James 4:11-12  The Message

Is that not a graphic way of saying it?  What a good word.  It hasn't left my mind all day...
