3/7/17 - Tuesday - IBS - Romans 12:16 -  Live in harmony with one another. Do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly.  Never be wise in your own sight.

Julie:

I believe that this passage is portraying that when the proud and low love each other, there is unity. The sound is harmonic.  The chemistry is beautiful.  Just like a magnet, the two opposites attract bringing together something that cannot be broken (without extreme effort).  When the proud and the low can come together there is a common ground.  There and only there is where Jesus dwells.  Jesus does not live above with the proud.  He actually opposes the proud.  He does not dwell with low, or else he would not try to pick them up. He is close to the brokenhearted but not to dwell with them.  God designed man to live in harmony amongst each other, which requires us to lay our pride and things that puff us up aside.  It also requires us to lay our mourning and poorness aside.  But to where do we lay it aside.... at the foot of the cross!
