14 And we urge you, brothers and sisters, warn those who are idle and disruptive, encourage the disheartened, help the weak, be patient with everyone.
No big takeaways today, just lots of good and simple instructions of how we can live. References to armor of God again like in Ephesians, helmet of salvation.
This verse is a simple instruction of how we should represent by treating others. Feels like common sense really, but easier said then done especially being patient.

15 Make sure that nobody pays back wrong for wrong, but always strive to do what is good for each other and for everyone else.
ReplyDeleteThis verse struck me. What if we all lived like this? Can you imagine how different things would be? Even something as simple as traffic.....what if we all followed this simple rule. hahaha....completely different than most people's perspective. I had someone completely frustrated with me yesterday, honking their horn multiple times an flipping me of....all because I was waiting to turn until a pedestrian crossed the road. hahaha....fantastic!
Me first? Or you first? Or God first?
What is my perspective? Not always in the right place.
