S - 1 Timothy 5:21 I charge you before God and the Lord Jesus Christ and the elect angels that you observe these things without prejudice, doing nothing with partiality.
O - Paul is talking about how to treat the elders of the church in this section. In the previous verse he talks about bringing accusations against the elders with two or more witnesses so that they would be able to determine if the accusation was valid or not.
A - I am also put in situations where I need to "judge" whether or not something was an issue. I need to first of all listen to what is said, then listen to the Lord, and finally remove any prejudice or partiality from the situation. By removing any prejudice, I will be able to hear the still small voice of God openly and will be able to make a fair and "right" decision.
P - God, Help me to hear your voice continually. I want to be even nearer to you and to "know" you more. Be with me in times that decisions are made so that I can lean on your wisdom and understanding and away from any prejudice or partiality I may have in the situation. Bless my family and I today and be with us.
