During these very challenging times we need to “Affirm One Another.” Romans 12:3 makes it plain by telling us to not think of ourselves more highly than we ought. Many do well with mourning with them that mourn but often struggle with rejoicing with them that rejoice. King Saul was doing ok with David taking in Goliath until the women got their praise on , singing Saul has slain his thousands, David his ten thousands. We will never be able to affirm others if we are jealous of others being blessed and used of God. So many times people try to discredit others in some way when they are receiving more praise than us. Aaron and Miriam got in trouble with God for this. During my singing days my accompanist would do such a tremendous job of making me look and sound good; never bringing attention to himself. He was always happy to help me be honored for my accomplishments. He would even cover my mistakes and not expose them. So, as we serve in ministry, on boards and task forces in our great Church of God, let’s concentrate on “Affirming One Another” and many of our struggles will be solved!!!
