Today’s Thought “Preparing for Someday” G. Ward

 

Romans 14:1 Now accept the one who is weak in faith, but not to have quarrels over opinions.

The message of grace is perhaps the toughest to convey because it absolutely involves nothing we’ve done so well or can do outside of receiving its giftedness from our Savior. We, however, are with some throughout every audience who will place extra on it, that is grace. They’ll not eat certain foods; while denying consistent discipleship’s affiliation within a local fellowship. More than often, I’ve witnessed these can be disquieted by our peace with congeniality; enough so, even that affords us as believers to set the record straight and that’s why chapter 12 insists we try to live at peace with all and whereas perspectives change, the true meaning of God’s Word won’t. So, what you can do is arrange a short study with them to enable you both to become very solid in relationship with Christ; and news flash, it won’t begin with points of indifference, but hone in with Jesus’ work on behalf of man.

 

Father God, while we’ve all fallen short of Your glory, so, may our mercy towards one another increase, for no one desires to be shamed into greater belief, particularly by another as fallible as they are, yet want the conviction the Spirit offers. We ask that our spiritual meditations rise to understand that out war is not with people appearing cantankerous, but the forces of evil all around. May we present You as worthy to pursue by one standard, the Truth of Your Word and not vain arguments, in Jesus Name, Amen.
