1 Corinthians 4:12 (NASB) "and we toil, working with our own hands; when we are reviled, we bless; when we are persecuted, we endure;"I knew the minute we began to work with it, that the mixture was wrong! While filling a crack in our basement wall, we had made up some hydraulic cement but the mixture between water and cement was wrong! Today's verse speaks about working with our hands and how when we are reviled, we bless and when persecuted, we endure! Before we could even get the mixture on the wall, the material became too hard to use! UGH - sometimes following the exact measure of things comes to into play when we need to get it right! When we work, we need not focus on what others will think of us, but what our work effort is to the Lord! Having the right mix of God's Word in our life and walking by the Spirit, will allow us to get the job done, no matter what people are saying about us! Work to bring God glory and not man, and get the mixture right, otherwise we will be doing it all over again! peace, tom
