Manna in the Morning

This week we have been challenged by the basic principles of daily Christian living that Paul put forth in Romans chapter 12. We have already noticed the important emphasis that Paul placed on genuine love to others as well as having clear and defined awareness of the difference between good and evil. Paul also tells that we are to “give preference to one another in honor.” (Romans 12:10b) Now that principle really goes against the grain of the attitude we see in our world. So many are out for #One... numero uno... the “I am the greatest” mentality. But when we look at the life of Jesus He demonstrated that superb quality of humility. Our world fosters the grab for power and prestige... Jesus shows us how to serve and care for others. Our world stresses privilege and status... the Bible teaches living for others even to the measure of sacrifice. The greatest example of genuine humility was when the Creator of the World and the Lord of the Universe one day took a towel and basin and knelt down to wash the feet of others! Let’s show honor to others in our living today.
