Thoughts About Humility And Love
King Solomon was the wisest man that ever
lived. Yet, he was not a good example everyday
of his life, neither was David, or Moses, or Peter. Not one living soul has not failed God in
some way. Not one single person has got
through life without disappointing someone else. Which means at one time or another we have
all been hypocritical. If someone would
say to you they have never sinned they would be a liar, because the Bible says
so in I John, as a matter a fact God has called us all liars. For one to point
His boney finger at someone else for their failure in a sarcastic judgmental way - without fearing God for their
prideful assessment, may find themselves fallen into the a slop bucket of sin
themselves. That does not mean we should
be silent about God's judgment and punishment upon his disobedient children, but rather, we should ask God to keep us
humble in the fear that we too could be overtaken in a fault. We are all vulnerable in a world falling
farther and farther away from sound biblical teaching. God has told us to have compassion upon the
fallen victim to sin, we should warn every man and teach every man in all
wisdom that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus our Lord. With a heart of compassion and prayer we
should attempt to pull them back into right living. Though if they refuse we are to withdraw, but
ready as Christ himself, with open arms, in the case they return to a right
relationship with Christ.
I know I'm not the smartest
person in the world and sometimes I make mistakes on my spelling, but I'm no dumb
head when it comes to some things. I'm
smart enough to know the day I can set back and ridicule other people ... is
the day I better watch out for my own feet to be pulled out from under me.
If there is one thing I've
learned throughout the years about God.
Sometimes when we wander away, He's simply is so good to us that it shames
us back into a right fellowship with Him.
God can love us into getting right too, I know this first hand. Other times we may need the biggest spanking
of our lives. I think it's very
important to remember a little bit of love can make all the difference. Especially
with our own children..sometimes love is the only answer, because anything else
would drive them farther away.
God knows the heart and He knows the need.
If the wisest man that ever
lived could fall into sin so could you or I, we must remember that if we are
already crawling close to the ground, we will never fall because we are already
down dodging bullets.
