Do you have people that get on your nerves? I mean, really get under your skin? I am sure we all do. I am sure I am one of those people for others. I am absolutely positive that there are people in my life that when I ask, "How ya doin'," they take it as a personal offense.
We all have people in our lives that are difficult to be around. I know there are some folks in this world that absolutely bring out the worse in me, and vice versa. There are a select few in this world that the second I see them my blood pressure begins to rise. However, I am trying to work on not being that person for others. The reason?
Today's word is Psalm 133:1, NLT, which reads, "How wonderful and pleasant it is when brothers live together in harmony!"
I know others are watching how I treat others and how I respond to others. As Christians, we know that others are watching us because we should be different than others in this world. Yet, we are humans. We have those who just grate us and can get to us like no one else. We have those that just seem to take pleasure in our displeasure. But, as I said, I know others are watching, and I want to be a good example. But, it doesn't just stop there...
As our verse tells us, it is wonderful and pleasant to get along with others. Yeah, I know, sometimes it isn't practical because the other person doesn't want it. However, as much as possible, I want to try to get along with others and to live in harmony with others. No, it's not easy. No, it won't be possible with some. But, to live in harmony, I think it is worth the effort.
Be Blessed,
Mickey T
