When you start to doubt yourself, the real world will eat you alive!
Henry Rollins
Romans 14:20-23
Do not tear down God’s work because of food. Everything is clean, but it is wrong for a man to cause stumbling by what he eats. It is a noble thing not to eat meat, or drink wine, or do anything that makes your brother stumble. Do you have faith? Keep it to yourself before God. Blessed is the man who does not condemn himself by what he approves. But whoever doubts stands condemned if he eats, because his eating is not from faith, and everything that is not from faith is sin. (HCSB)
I think that we have thoroughly covered the importance of our considering our spiritual family in everything that we do. If you haven’t read those devotions before this one, I strongly urge you to regress and go back and understand that this journey that you are on while you are on this earth is not a conquest that you undertake alone.
The subject that I think we really need to pull out of this scripture is “doubt.” So why does Paul bring this word to the forefront after this encompassing word encouraging us all to walk in love? He knows that we can get distracted by judgment, by our beginning to think that I have the right and only way, and if you’re not like me, you are wrong.
Paul is saying to us, your walk before God is yours, and it is not your business to get into the walk of someone else and start pointing fingers. God is able to handle and correct the walk of His children and I have seen that in the ministry that He has given me. Walk the truth and it does all of the correcting that is necessary. Our actions will be our words, and our holy walk a witness to our brothers and sisters, and to a lost world…God’s Blessings.
