Sometimes
the conversations that take place between two year old Daniel and four year old
Ben can be very telling. One day Daniel tried to muscle in on something
Benjamin was doing. Unable to come up with any other convincing argument
as to why Daniel couldn't play with it also, Ben simply said, "You're too little!"
I can just imagine them climbing into the driver's seat
of
a car someday at the ripe old ages of seven and
five. Then I imagine Ben telling Daniel that he is toolittle
to drive the car "so stay back while I do it!
Of course, both should stay away from driving at that
age, but people often try to decide what
someone else should be doing based on what they can do. It's
the old "pot calling the kettle black" syndrome.
It isn't unusual for Christians to
pull something like this on each other too.
Paul observed that the Romans were
struggling among themselves about eating rules
and holy days. While admitting
they may differ on these things, Paul pointed out
an overshadowing principle they
needed to consider.
(Romans
14:4) "Who are you to judge the servant of
another? To his own master he stands or falls;
and stand he will, for the Lord is able to make him stand."
Let God do the judging of others' motives.
You watch your own! You
might pray, "Help me to remember they answer to You, Lord."
