Live in harmony with one another. Do not be proud, but be willing to associate with people of low position. Do not be conceited.
Romans 12:16
Today's scripture first talks about living in harmony with everyone around us. In life, you will have people who push your buttons or who don't treat you well, but the Bible says that in all this, we must still live peacefully with everyone.
It takes a lot of patience but with the help of the Holy Spirit, you will be able to live life with more peace, and less conflict.
The verse then goes on to tell us that we should not look down on anyone or judge them because of their status or background. We have all been made in the image of God. Other people's circumstances should not be a factor that causes us to treat them differently.
If someone isn't as well educated as you, or is in a lower social status than you, it doesn't mean that you're any better than they are. It just means that you're in a better position to help them.
We must build each other up; not tear each other down. Don't let what you have cause you to turn your nose up at others, because God can take it away from you within seconds.
So live at peace with everyone around you, and do not let anything cause you to shun other people who are less privileged than you in any way.
Stay blessed and stay a blessing.
