WORD OF HOPE FOR TODAY BY by Bro. Rolly Custodio
NO ONE CAN STOP US IN SERVING OTHERS (PART-2)
“Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought.” Romans 12:3 NIV
Today’s Insight
Another thing that will keep you from serving others is arrogance. What others think and feel isn’t important to you. Arrogant people seldom meet people on common ground. They don’t believe they should have to, because by their own estimation they live on higher ground and shouldn’t have to descend to anyone else’s level. They expect others to come to them.
Justice Louis D. Brandeis observed: “Nine-tenths of the serious controversies that arise in life result from misunderstanding, from one man not knowing the facts which to the other man seem important, or otherwise failing to appreciate his point of view.”
There’s merit to the old Beatles’ song, “I Get By with a Little Help from My Friends.” It’s ridiculous for anyone to think they have all the answers. Such people seem hopelessly out-of-date. Like the “Archie Bunkers” in life, they’re opinionated and narrow-minded. If you’re familiar with the old TV comedy series All in the Family, you know Archie expected everyone to meet on his terms. Friends and family alike were exposed to his insults. In one episode he told his wife, “Your problem is, Edith, I talk in English and you hear in Dingbat!” Lines like that may be good for a laugh on TV, but in reality they’re arrogant and hurtful.
Application
When your overriding goal is to build a case for your own viewpoint, people get turned off. To win them you must build a relationship. The letters in the word “silent” also form the word “listen.” Relationships are built by listening to people, loving them, learning from them, and leaving them better off than you found them.
Today’s Prayer
Heavenly Father, Thank you for your Word today. Lord thank you for teaching us to be respectful to our family and friends. Lord sometimes we are arrogant forgive us so that we can win our friends and others to your kingdom. Lord make my life to be a model so that no can stop me in serving others for your glory In Jesus’ Name. Amen!
Prayer for Salvation
Lord I admit I am a sinner I repent of all my sins and I receive you into my heart as my personal Lord and Savior Amen. If you mean that prayer above from the bottom of your heart you are now saved. It is God’s Word promise in John 3:16 that if you trust His Son Jesus you will not die but you will have Eternal Life. Welcome to the family of God. In order to grow in your faith with God please do these consistently starting today; 1. Pray always 2. Read your Bible Daily 3. Attend Church Services Regularly 4. Attend Prayer Meeting, Bible Study, Church Seminars and make God first place in your life with your talents and finances 5. Lastly, witness Jesus to others that they may receive Eternal Life also.
