Mark 9: 40 Whoever is not against us is for us.
The disciples saw someone casting out demons in Jesus's name, and they tried to stop him. He wasn't one of the disciples. But Jesus says they should have left him alone. Anyone who does good in Christ's name will be rewarded.
I will contemplate this short verse a long time. I tend to think that people are against me, perhaps too often. If they are not against me, they are for me. Okay, so I need to give them and myself a break. Mainly myself, since they don't even know that I am thinking about the slights I am attributing to them.
Prayer: Increase my humility, Lord. Help me to see the people around me in a more favorable light. Perhaps I am wasting my time and energy thinking people are against me, when they are on my side.
Amen
