Today’s Thought “Statue of a Fool” G. Ward

“You younger men, likewise, be subject to your elders; and all of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, for God is opposed to the proud, but gives grace to the humble.” 1 Peter 5:5

Our relationship to those younger shouldn’t be relative to where our intellect was at that same age; nor should it be so entirely condescending to preclude that a whole generation is hopeless. Persevering in God through Christ must first believe that I’ve been redeemed and spiritually transformed from all that didn’t matter in my life’s journey before Christ and then seek to give it away so another would experience peace (cf. Phil.3:7-9). When/if my portrayal in the Spirit realm seeks more to be relevant (i.e. towards cultural positioning), the beholder involved therein will/can quickly identify my disingenuous spirit, precluding my reaching them with “good news.” This is not to say to relax and just be you, it more lends greater opportunity to pervade on any your new ambassadorship (2 Cor.5:19-21).

Happy Wednesday!
