Your Ananias
According to the Vocabulary Dictionary, to belittle means to put down, or to make another person feel as though they aren't important.
In order words, it is a cruel way of making someone else seem less important than yourself.
I want to point out that, Saul before he became Apostle Paul was well learned, spoke three languages, was a law maker, a great psychologist and an intelligent theologian in the Roman law; between AD 15—20 Saul began his studies of the Hebrew Scriptures in the city of Jerusalem under Rabbi Gamaliel. It was under Gamaliel that Saul would begin an in-depth study of the Law with the famous rabbi but when he got blind, Jesus did not send him to a major prophet or general overseer for healing. The Lord send him to an ordinary man known as Ananias who was not famous and had no title to his name.
That housemaid may be your Ananias, that driver may be your Ananias, that motor boy may be your Ananias. God confers authority and greatness on man, he does not take it by himself. Treat everyone with kindness. "All flesh is like grace and all its glory like a flower of grass. The grass withers, and flower falls( 1 Peter 1:24)"
Thank you Holy Spirit.
Shalom!
