Today's Verse: Romans 14:5

So often, we let personal preferences, peer pressure, and concerns about celebrating certain days, especially holidays, have a divisive effect on our Christian relationships. Bottom line, we're not to try to press our opinion or position on anyone else. We're not to judge others because they don't celebrate a special day to the Lord we celebrated. We're not to judge another because she does celebrate special days. Celebrating certain days as holy is a matter of personal conviction that revolves around our desire to please the Lord and to honor him in ways we feel are appropriate. Let's not be so insecure that we have to do what everyone else does. Likewise, let's not force anyone to conform to doing what we prefer. Instead, let's remember the right angle to take with everything: honor God with all that we are and do, as we consider the needs of our brothers and sisters in Christ before our own.
