Whoa! Good advice—live in harmony and don’t
be a know it all! No one likes a know it all—they are the ones that people tend
to walk away from in a group conversation…and try to escape from if they are just
speaking with one-on-one. I know…I used
to be one of “those” people. My opinion always counted and I felt like I was
always right—I know. I’ve been humbled over the years and shown that I don’t
know it all. I try to listen more than talk now. Listening is a good thing. And
ordinary people are those with whom I want to hang out. They aren’t out to
impress you, although like anyone else they do want to let you know that they’ve
been to the Empire State Building three times and shook hands with President
Reagan. Hmmm. I guess I do know influential people. It’s not who you know…or
where they’ve been…but do they know the Lord as their Savior—their Messiah?
Have they developed a relationship with the Lord? Are you encouraging others—and
are you holding each other accountable for your spiritual growth?
Prayer
~ Holy Spirit, help me to live in harmony with my fellow Christians and enjoy
everyone’s company. May we see You in each other. As we grow together in our
relationship with You and with one another, may we bring others into a bond
with Jesus, too. We will never know too much about You, Lord God, this side of
heaven, but reveal ways to us that we can serve You and love others for who
they are.
