Power or God

Monday September 25th, James 3: 16 Whenever you're trying to look better than others or get the better of others, things fall apart and everyone ends up at the others' throats. The old saying goes; power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Jesus calls us to love one another, and when you love one another, you are not trying to get one over on them. In the Old Testament, the prophet Micah tells us in 6:8 “He has showed you, O man, what is good. And what does the LORD require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.” It is hard to walk humbly with God when you are trying to look better than, or get the better of others. Power tends to do that.
