We all of us find it very easy to judge others; but that all too easily leads to people believing that they aren’t good enough. It makes us too afraid to step up and try – because we are afraid what others will think. It happens in school where pupils are afraid to be asking a “dumb” question. Or we won’t volunteer to join something “because others are so much better than me”. Paul wants to change the Corinthians way of seeing things. God isn’t so worried about “success” as faithfulness and trustworthiness. The world asks the questions “how good are you at…?” or “how productive are you..?” God asks a different question – are you faithful with what I have given to you?
