“BELOVED, PUT ON THE MIND OF CHRIST AT ALL TIMES”
Saints of God Most High, hear God’s word for you today:
“Let your attitude toward one another be governed by your being in union with the Messiah Yeshua” (Philippians 2:5)
Let this same attitude, purpose, and humble mind be in you, which was in Christ Jesus, the Messiah and the Anointed One.
Let Him be your example in humility.
When we feel that we are not sufficiently respected, we should ask ourselves whether we are living as we should.
Decency is like gold, the same in all countries. Politeness is the flower of humanity. Anyone can be polite to a king but it takes a gentleman to be polite to a beggar.
A common definition sees decorum as proper behaviour while a more specific definition is given by the Webster’s Dictionary as “Conformity with conventional social manners in speech, writing, dressing and behaviour.”
Regardless of the definition, either common or specific, proper decorum can be said to describe the totality of an individual personality. It is expected that the behaviour of a child should be moulded through an institution such as home, school, church and the community.
This will help to produce desirable and acceptable behavioural characteristics in such a child as he grows up. As we become adults, whatever behavioural traits we have developed remains with us for life.
Human beings are peculiar creatures whose attitudes are expected to conform to the norms of the society. This is the reason why a proper investigation is carried out in people before marriage is sought.
We must always remember that no matter the type of training a person goes through, either to obtain a degree or academic excellence, the best teacher to mould our character and sharpen our behaviour is the Holy Bible.
Reading it, meditating on it and living it out is the best way of life. As soon as a person becomes a Christian believer, born again through conversion, that person’s life must be patterned after the Scriptures.
HAVE THE MIND OF CHRIST IN ALL THINGS.
Shalom and good morning.
