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."
Paul is telling the Romans how to live peacefully together. He tells them to truly love one another, never take revenge, and to be patient with each other.
This kind of behavior and demeanor is what we are to be known for. We are to be humble. Too often the church is known for what we are against, what we hate, or for the personalities we follow and idolize. We prop ourselves up on our bully pulpits and point our fingers at one another. In so many ways the church is a mess. I need to return to these simple words from Paul. I need to find harmony today. I need to enjoy the company of all people and never think I know it all.
Dear Jesus, help me to be a humble example to all today. Amen.
