Words and Deeds

Dear Lord please be with us this day and may the Holy Spirit please be guiding and protecting us on this day in every deed and thought. Please help us to speak clearly and wisely where we can make a difference, and show silent wisdom where words would not be heard nor understood. Please lead us to perform deeds that will speak louder than words, and please protect us from words that might hurt and discourage us, as we interact with others. Please show us that doing what good we can with what we have to work with can overcome the evil in our lives through the power of Jesus the Christ. Thank You for all of the great gifts and blessings that You have given us and please forgive our sins the same as we forgive the mistakes of others, in Jesus Christ's name we pray, amen.

Mt 7:15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. 
Mt 7:16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? 
Mt 7:17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. 
Mt 7:18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. 
Mt 7:19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. 
Mt 7:20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. 

Jas 1:22 But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. 

Jas 1:25 But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.
