Don't
Be Too Proud
To
Enjoy The Company Of Ordinary People.
And
Don't Think You Know It All!
Scripture
Romans
12
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!
Observation
The
Apostle Paul had not yet been to Rome when he wrote Romans and yet he
wrote like he knew exactly how the people were!
I
guess that is because in every family, even a church family there are
always people like Paul described in verse 16! There are always
people who think that because of their education, or the family they
came from, or their money, or their fame, etc. that think that they
are better than other people.
Have
you ever been around someone that thought that they knew everything?
If you tell a story they always have one better … of course you
have, and all of us have the tendency to do that … don't we?
You
and I need to enjoy the company of ordinary people … because … we
are ordinary!
The
only thing special about us, the only thing extraordinary about us is
… Jesus! And Jesus loves ordinary people! He loves them so much
that He gave His life for them!
So
let's live in harmony with each other. Let's not be too proud to
enjoy the company of the ordinary people around us. And let's not
think we know it all!
Application
I
will put Romans 12:16 into practice today in my life. How about you?
Prayer
Heavenly
Father, help me to see the value and worth in every person that I
talk to today. Help me to enjoy being with them. Don't ever let me
think that I am better than someone else. Help me to be happy with
those who are happy and weep with those who weep. Help me to be a
good friend to those who You bring into my life.
