Romana 12:16


Be of the same mind toward one another.Do not set your mind on high things, but associate with the humble. Do not be wise in your own opinion.

Its rather difficult to be humble when you are more qualified than the next guy,and have a better job,better car and better health.For some,arrogance quietly sets in quickly.How many people,who after they had been promoted to a senior post,quicky transform overnight.In the process,we lose our long time friends and get new ones. One hopes the new ones are friends.They can turn out to be otherwise.

Of course,we can rationalize that our new status in life demands that we upgrade our lifestyle and be seen with the right people.But we have to admit,such thinking is only our own opinion.And the Bible warns us not to be wise in our own conceits.

The Christian attitude is to be maintain a humble attitude towards everyone.Especially with those who are not well off.Always remember where God brought you from. Vijay
