Humility


Each and everyday we are judging others, left right and centre, im sure you've had moments where you walk into a room and instantly fall into judging others, whether if its physical appearance, or who they are, or who you think they are, but Paul tells us in Romans 14 that we are called to accept one another instead.

Paul uses the analogy of faith in the text. Each of us as believers, are working at our faith with Christ; individually. Some may have a stronger faith, some may have a weaker one, some may be new to the whole Christianity thing, and some may have been doing it since birth, but no matter where you stand, it gives you no right to judge someone else based on their faith and spiritual walk. This relationship with God is between you and God alone, no one is to call you out or put you down because of where its at. But no matter where we are with Christ, He will always still use us and lift us up in times of celebration as well as tribulation.

Verse 8 really stood out to me, it says,
For if we live, we live to the Lord, and if we die, we die to the Lord. So then, whether we live or whether we die, we are the Lord's. - Romans 14:8
We belong to the Lord. We are called to do everything for Him. He is the real judge before us all at the end of the day (v.10).

But how do we find this attitude, this change? It is because of our dedication to Christ, to follow Him, which means to let go of everything we want for ourselves, our selfish desires. It is then we can learn to be humble, to step away and step back from the pride in our hearts.

Are you showing humility in your walk with Christ?

verse of the day: Romans 14:13
13 Therefore let us not pass judgment on one another any longer, but rather decide never to put a stumbling block or hindrance in the way of a brother.
