Don't
Be Too Proud
To
Enjoy The Company
Of
Ordinary People.
Scripture
Romans
12
9 Don’t
just pretend to love others. Really love them. Hate what is wrong.
Hold tightly to what is good.
16 Live in
harmony with each other. Don’t be too proud to enjoy the company of
ordinary people. And don’t think you know it all!
17 Never pay
back evil with more evil. Do things in such a way that everyone can
see you are honorable.
Observation
Wow!
There is so much in these chapters … so much that I could have
written about. I hope that you have made the commitment to be in
God's Word every day!
At
the end of chapter 12 Paul seems to be wrapping up his letter with a
list of exhortations, but then he must of thought of something else
and continued to write chapters 13-16.
Verse
16 “Live in harmony with each other. Don’t be too proud to enjoy
the company of ordinary people. And don’t think you know it all!”
Now
is the time to enjoy the people that God has placed in our lives.
There is no better time of the year to enjoy the company of ordinary
people than right now. It is the Christmas season and hearts are
open.
So
let's slow down and enjoy the ordinary people that God has placed
around us!
Application
I
will look for opportunities to spend time with family and friends
during this Christmas season.
How
about you? Who comes to your mind that needs your attention?
Prayer
Heavenly
Father, don't let me miss an opportunity to spend time with the
ordinary people that surround me. Slow me down. Don't let me get
sidetracked with stuff that doesn't matter. People matter. Kathy and
I want to spend time with our kids and our grandkids, with our
extended family and with all of our friends during this Christmas
season. And we are sure going to need Your help to pull that off.
