Think Soberly

[Rom 12:3-4]

Rom 12:3-4 (NKJV) For I say, through the grace given to me, to everyone who is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think soberly, as God has dealt to each one a measure of faith. [4] For as we have many members in one body, but all the members do not have the same function.

Think: Gk. hoop-er-fron-eh’-o is from two Greek words huper which means over and above, or beyond and phroneo which means to think. The compound word is translated well in the Amplified Bible, to think of oneself more highly than he ought to think or to have an exaggerated opinion of one’s own importance.

My confession is:

I am aware of my interdependence with others in the body of Christ. I do not want to be independent in the way I operate. By the grace of God working in me, I submit myself to God and I resist the temptation to overestimate myself. I am becoming more aware of my need to do my part, along with others who are called by God to do their part.

God bless you my friend,
