Proverbs 16; Proverbs 17; Proverbs 18; Romans 12
Don’t Be Proud, But Be
Willing To Be Friends
With People
Who Are Not Important To
Others.
Scripture
Romans 12
So I beg you, brothers and sisters, because of
the great mercy God has shown us, offer your lives as a living sacrifice to
him—an offering that is only for God and pleasing to him.
Considering what he
has done, it is only right that you should worship him in this way.
2 Don’t change yourselves to be like
the people of this world, but let God change you inside with a new way of
thinking. Then you will be able to understand and accept what God wants for
you. You will be able to know what is good and pleasing to him and what is
perfect.
16 Live together in peace with
each other. Don’t be proud, but be willing to be friends with people who are
not important to others. Don’t think of yourself as smarter than everyone else.
Observation
I
will touch on Romans 12:1-2 and then move on to verse sixteen! I thought I
would write about Romans 12:1-2 because it is so good but then I read verse
sixteen this morning and it jumped out at me.
I
don’t think you can do what it says to do in verse sixteen without being the
living sacrifice that God wants you to be. A living sacrifice, can because it
is alive get up and move off the altar - so everyday we must decide to be a
living sacrifice.
Who
do you know? Who can you think of that is not very important to other people?
Maybe it is someone in your neighborhood, maybe someone at work, or someone in
your church that not many people care much about - this is the person that you
can give some extra time to this week.
Instead of talking about them to others
why not talk to them and show them that you care about them as a person that
Christ died for!
Application
I
will spend time with someone that has been pretty much forgotten by others.
Prayer
Heavenly Father, give me You heart for people - especially people that other
people don’t think are important!
