King Over Our Posture

If we are all honest with ourselves, we often hold others to standards that we ourselves don’t even meet. We aren’t as far along in our growth as we often think we are, and this in turn affects how we view and treat others. Colossians reminds us that our posture must be marked by patience. We need to thank God as others progress, ask God that others would exceed expectations and limitations, and trust God with their process. In order to see ourselves and others rightly, without unhealthy comparison, we need to first see Jesus rightly, and then our posture towards others will be properly founded.
