Scripture Union Daily Guide 29th June 2023 MESSAGE:
Acceptance and strength are two areas which the Apostle Paul addresses in relationship in this passage. After coming through the Covid pandemic, one of the crucial needs in relationship was acceptance. People have grown to be distant from one another. As relationships resumed, people did not really know what to do and how to relate with each other. Some wondered if it was okay to shake hands, hug each other, come close or stay apart. This passage is most relevant for such occasions. We learn to build relationship again and to accept people as the scripture expects.
It is also obvious that we are varied in strength, perspective, spirituality, and in many other areas of life. How does understanding the purpose and source of our strength contribute to the success of what we do (v.5)? Unfortunately, the weak and vulnerable are usually at the receiving end. Notice the advice in vs.1-2 and Galatians 6:1 on how to care for the weak and vulnerable among us. Learning from the example of Christ (v.3; Philippians 2:5-11), Paul invites us to bring glory to God as we serve each other.
• Any new insight or reinforcement of what you already know?
