1 Corinthians 10:32-11:1 “Don’t give offense to Jesus or Gentiles or the church of God. I, too, try to please everyone in everything I do. I don’t just do what is best for me; I do what is best for others so that many may be saved. And you should imitate me, just as I imitate Christ.”
This is so perfect for us to think about and pray about. We all struggle with I don’t like this or that, or I wish this could be better so I can enjoy it more, but when it comes down to it we should be glorifying God. We should not settle for less but we should bring out the best in ourselves by living for Christ. Paul wanted everything to be done to help people see how incredible Christ was, do we? If someone is truly glorifying God in what they are doing I say let them even if it is uncomfortable to us. It is what is really in our hearts that comes out when we are dealing with people. When we are living as Christ did we shine and people see us being different and this is what moves people to seek the same. When we argue and condemn someone who is doing their best to honor God, we are acting selfishly. We need to constantly be learning and growing, asking God to show us more wisdom and then help people at all levels to find the same. It is so important to be faithful followers that can make anyone feel the importance of Christ and what He did for us.
I ask us all to listen to this warning from Paul in 10 verse 12, “If you think you are standing strong, be careful not to fall.”
Only be satisfied with continued knowledge from the Lord and actively ask and seek the lord. Amen
