Bible Verse of The Day – 11-9-23

Romans 15:2 (NKJV) 2 Let each of us please his neighbor for his good, leading to edification.

Godliness prefers others. It puts others first and walks in humility. Godliness honors others and is sensitive to the feelings and cares of others.

Our flesh must be crucified if we want to walk out this “pleasing his neighbor” life style, requiring us to leave our old desires and passions behind.

Galatians 5:24 (NKJV)  And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.

There should be a constant crucifying of our flesh as we grow and learn to serve others by putting ourselves aside.

Will we have days where we do not want to even try any longer? Yes. That’s normal.

The flesh loves to treat itself with comforts. It loves to have all the attention, and it would love to focus on itself.

The flesh will even cause us to think that we have the right to do whatever we want, when we want.

But, through Christ and the guidance of the Holy Spirit, if we don’t give into the flesh, we will have what it takes to please those whom God has put in our path on any given day.

We will be able to say and do the right thing that will touch their heart and cause them to be grateful and know that only God knew what they needed in that hour.

May He be glorified through our pleasing others as He leads us to do so. Amen
