Sermon Snippet
Isaiah 55:8-9 states:
8 “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the Lord.
9 “As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.”
If all pulled in one direction, the world would keel over.
Yiddish proverb
It is rightly said that our common bond as believers is greater than our individual differences. from the experience we share as compulsive sinners, for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, however, we are as diverse as any group of people anywhere.
In offering help to someone who asks for it, I must keep individual differences in mind. We are not carbon copies of one another. What may benefit one person could be entirely inappropriate for another. Each of us must be free to find our own way, both in the adoption of an eating plan and in working into salvation. .
For today: Am I helping those with what I find works best for them, or just projecting my own opinions on them?
