Sunday, 29 October 2023 Today’s Word of Hope:My brothers and sisters, believers in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ must not show favoritism. James 2:1 (NIV) Favoritism has become a deeply ingrained social evil in today’s world. It is, unfortunately, frequent even among churches and believers. A potential reason is that we are caught up in self-centeredness. Our God is both just and fair. He expects us to be just in whatever we do. Many times in life, whether deliberately or unknowingly, we tend to prioritize the rich, educated, and prominent while overlooking the poor, uneducated, and in need. Take the time to examine your life in this light and determine whether you are prejudiced or unbiased. Do you show preference based on caste, race, language, religion, and other factors? King Solomon is a magnificent example of righteous and unbiased judgment in the Bible. When two women came to him seeking a judgment over their claim to be the legal mother of a newborn, Solomon discovered a means to determine the true mother of that infant and rendered an unbiased decision. He is still regarded as one of the greatest kings the world has ever seen. # God loves everyone. He is opposed to social injustice.# Be someone who treats others fairly and impartially.# Be unbiased and demonstrate God’s love to everyone, regardless of social rank or income. Prayer: Lord Jesus, please help me to be unbiased in my thoughts and approaches. Amen.
