Godly Living

Spiritual Vitamin: "Be of the same mind toward one another; do not be haughty in mind, but associate with the lowly. Do not be wise in your own estimation. Never repay evil for evil to anyone. Respect what is right in the sight of all people. If possible, so far as it depends on you, be at peace with all people." Romans 12:16-18

Challenge: There is a lot packed away in these verses for us! Will you associate with all people? Do you attach yourself with the "important" people? Are you a companion of the humble person? Are you puffed up with your own opinion? When someone hurts you, are you quick to hurt back? Do you respect people whose opinions are different than yours? Do you live at peace with all people. Take a moment and invite God to help you live these verses out.

Prayer: Dear God, I'm so grateful for Your Scripture that gives us such guidance on how to live. In this section of scripture, I realize that I fall short. I'm so tempted to get in the way and allow "self" to reign. Please forgive me for those times I'm tempted to hurt others when hurt myself. Guide me and help me live at peace with all people. I'm so grateful for your help! Amen.
