Be devoted to one another in brotherly love. Honor one another above yourselves. — Romans 12:10
Thoughts on Today’s Verse…
“He who toots his own horn plays in a very small band!” A very selfish part of us wants all attention and appreciation to be focused on what we have done, sacrificed, and accomplished. One of the signs of spiritual maturity that Paul lists here, however, is a devotion to others who are our fellow Christians. This means that we genuinely rejoice when others are honored. In fact, we are even more interested in honoring others than in receiving honor ourselves.
My Prayer…
Dear God, my loving Father, thank you for surrounding me with so many godly and honorable people. Please help me see ways each day that I can show them my love, admiration, and appreciation. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
