“THINKABOUTIT” THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

Thursday; March 6, 2008

 

          There is a story of a parent watching the High School Marching Band perform during the halftime of a big game.  When the event was over the father beamed with pride; but, the person next to him felt that the man wasn’t completely satisfied with the effort.  The bystander asked what was wrong and the man said, “Well, I feel sorry for all the other parents.”  When asked why he said, “Well they have to feel a little embarrassed because everyone was out of step except my son, Johnny.”.

          Do we ever feel like everyone is against us?  Does it seem like we are constantly butting heads with all the hard-headed people who seem to be everywhere we are?  Well, maybe the problem isn’t with everyone else.   Could it be that we are the ones who need to adjust our attitude.  Thousands of years ago, a wise man observed, “When a man's ways are pleasing to the Lord, He makes even his enemies to be at peace with him.” (Proverbs 16:7)

          Let’s make it a point to know and do God’s will.  When we do that, we’ll be amazed at how easy everyone else will be to get along with.

          Think about it!  For the Madison Avenue Church of Christ; this is Charlie Wharton.
