“For he who is not against us is for us. For whoever gives you a cup of water to drink because of your name as followers of Christ, truly I say to you, he will not lose his reward” (Mark 9:40-41).
In this world, there are many who are against the truth of the Lord God Almighty. Living in the wishful thinking that things can be the way they want them to be, they live according to what they want. Such things are an illusion. Do not be driven by what you think, but by reality. Those who are not against the Lord will end up with and for Him. It may not be in a way You understand, but trust the One who understands all things.
Lord, I do things the way I do them. Others who do things differently are foreign to me. Foreign itself is not evil or wrong, so help me to understand that different is different and that is all it is. I am not the judge, You are. Grant that I would learn this lesson of humility so that I do things according to Your will and not my own. Guide me in Your goodness to do what is right in the Father’s sight.
Lord Jesus, You are the One who knits together Your body, the church. Help me to humbly do my part and not take into my hands control of how things are done. You are the Savior of us all. Only in You do we have salvation. You are the One with all power and authority. Help me look to You for all things, including the mercy and grace I need to give to others. May I look to You first always Lord Jesus. Amen.
