*PEOPLE & UNITY* (IV)
_Key Bible Text:_
*“In the end, people appreciate honest criticism far more than flattery."* (Proverbs 28:23 (NLT))
_Bible Insight:_
The trouble is, sometimes pride masquerades as religious zeal;
and the most bigoted believers can be mistaken for devoted defenders of the
faith and crusaders for the cause of Christ.
God’s servants don’t always have to be right. Even Paul was occasionally
perplexed about the will of God (Acts 16:6–10; 2 Cor. 4:8). When other
people don’t see things your way, trust God to show them what’s right (Phil.
3:15). And be sure to ask God to show you if perhaps you may be wrong!
*_Those of us who minister for Christ should strive to minister like Christ._*
He washed the feet of twelve men who were unworthy of His presence, let
alone His service. He received and helped multitudes of people, many of
whom never accepted His message. He died for a world that doesn’t want
Him. Why did He do it? Because it was the Father’s will, and Jesus
delighted to do His Father’s will (Ps. 40:8).
And keep in mind that while you’re serving others, the Lord is serving
you. He’s working with you on earth (Mark 16:20) and equipping you from
heaven (Heb. 13:20–21). No matter how painful or disappointing your
service may seem to you, it’s not being wasted. God is building your
character while He is building His church, and what He does will last
forever. That makes even the criticisms worthwhile!
_MEDITATION:_
*“I once heard A. W. Tozer say, “Never be afraid of honest criticism. If the
critic is wrong, you can help him; and if you’re wrong, he can help you.
Either way, somebody’s helped.â€*
