"Those members of the body, which seem to be more feeble, are necessary...those... which we think to be less honourable, upon these we bestow more abundant honour." ~ 1 Cor. 12:22-23
It takes some of us a long time to realize that no brother or sister is beneath us; sad to say, some never come to this conclusion. They cannot, for some reason or the other, bring themselves to "esteem the other better than themselves." I guess it is the Pharisee in us all that causes us to look down our noses on others. That is, those whom we esteem less fortunate than we, the elite.
Paul tells us some of the important things pertaining to this life are to be handled by them "who are least esteemed." We need to constantly be aware that true wisdom many times is dressed in a poor man's garment (Eccl.9:15).
It is that unobserved man or woman who, in many cases, bring great deliverance to our lives. Throughout the Old Testament you find some commonplace saint stepping from the shadows to be a great blessing in the lives of others.
When Jacob blessed Pharaoh, we see the lesser blessing the greater. I'd rather have the blessings of the humblest child of God bestowed upon my life than anything this religious world can offer!
