What to do in order to be great before Jesus and men?
• Pro 19:1 -> “Better is a poor person who walks in his integrity than one who is crooked in speech and is a fool.”.
Many people make many efforts to be accepted. The great problem is that most of the people try to be what they aren’t or, even those who know their vocation and try improve in it, try to be what are before the right time. And the Holy Scripture is clear:
• Pro 20:21 -> “An inheritance gained hastily in the beginning will not be blessed in the end.”.
If what we desire is acceptance, let’s observe what the Creator looks on being better:
• Pro 19:22 -> “What is desired in a man is steadfast love, and a poor man is better than a liar.”.
• Pro 15:16 -> “Better is a little with the fear of the LORD than great treasure and trouble with it.”.
• Pro 16:8 -> “Better is a little with righteousness than great revenues with injustice.”.
• Pro 28:6 -> “Better is a poor man who walks in his integrity than a rich man who is crooked in his ways.”.
Do you desire to be a leader, to be heard and respected? Take a look at this:
• Pro 12:26 -> “One who is righteous is a guide to his neighbor, but the way of the wicked leads them astray.”.
• Zec 3:7 -> “Thus says the LORD of hosts: If you will walk in my ways and keep my charge, then you shall rule my house and have charge of my courts, and I will give you the right of access among those who are standing here.”.
Furthermore, think:
• Mat 16:26 -> “For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul? Or what shall a man give in return for his soul?”.
So, have a good day increasing in the kingdom of Jesus as it is taught below:
• Mat 20:25-28 -> “But Jesus called them to him and said, “You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great ones exercise authority over them. It shall not be so among you. But whoever would be great among you must be your servant, and whoever would be first among you must be your slave, even as the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”
• 1Pe 5:1-3 -> “So I exhort the elders among you, as a fellow elder and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, as well as a partaker in the glory that is going to be revealed: shepherd the flock of God that is among you, exercising oversight, not under compulsion, but willingly, as God would have you; not for shameful gain, but eagerly; not domineering over those in your charge, but being examples to the flock.”.
