Pr 3:31 Envy thou not the oppressor, and choose none of his ways.
Pr 3:32 For the froward is abomination to the LORD: but his secret is with the righteous.
Pr 3:33 The curse of the LORD is in the house of the wicked: but he blesseth the habitation of the just.
Pr 3:34 Surely he scorneth the scorners: but he giveth grace unto the lowly.

Dealing With Sour Fruits
Dear Lord please be with us this day and may Your Holy Spirit please be with us and guide us in every thing that we say and do. Thank You for all of the great gifts and blessings and protection that You have given us and please forgive our sins the same as we forgive the mistakes of others.
Dear Lord please lead us into paths of accepting the facts of our life and the burdens that come to us to bare whether they be burdens that we have gathered from choices good or bad, or burdens put on us by the chances of fate, cruel as this can sometimes be.
Dear Lord please help us emphasize the blessings that we do have and to make a tolerable situation with a savory taste out of the sour fruits and burdens that could overcome us if we don't surrender our will for Yours, in Jesus Christ's name we pray, amen.
KJV*
Php 4:4 Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say, Rejoice.
Php 4:5 Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand.
Php 4:6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.
Php 4:7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
Php 4:8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.
Php 4:9 Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you.
Php 4:10 But I rejoiced in the Lord greatly, that now at the last your care of me hath flourished again; wherein ye were also careful, but ye lacked opportunity.
Php 4:11 Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content.
Php 4:12 I know both how to be abased, and I know how to abound: every where and in all things I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need.
Php 4:13 I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.

Golden Rule
Dear Lord please be with us this day and may Your Holy Spirit please be guiding and protecting us in every thing that we say and do. Thank You for all of the great gifts and blessings and protection that You give us and please forgive our sins the same as we forgive the mistakes of others.
Dear Lord please lead us into paths of righteousness on this day and please lead us away from self righteous thoughts and vanity and please lead us into unselfish thoughts and actions that will be of help to others.
Dear Lord please lead us into the practice of living by the golden rule and considering others ahead of ourselves and please lead us away from seeking our own glory while seeking Your Kingdom, in Jesus Christ's name we pray, amen.
KJV*
Ro 12:1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.
Ro 12:2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
Ro 12:3 For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.
Ro 12:4 For as we have many members in one body, and all members have not the same office:
Ro 12:5 So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another.
Ro 12:6 Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, whether prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of faith;
Ro 12:7 Or ministry, let us wait on our ministering: or he that teacheth, on teaching;
Ro 12:8 Or he that exhorteth, on exhortation: he that giveth, let him do it with simplicity; he that ruleth, with diligence; he that sheweth mercy, with cheerfulness.
Ro 12:9 Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good.
Ro 12:10 Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another;
Ro 12:11 Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord;
Ro 12:12 Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer;
Ro 12:13 Distributing to the necessity of saints; given to hospitality.
Ro 12:14 Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not.
Ro 12:15 Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep.
Ro 12:16 Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits.
Ro 12:17 Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men.
Ro 12:18 If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.
Ro 12:19 Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.
Ro 12:20 Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head.
Ro 12:21 Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.

Ps 140:10 Let burning coals fall upon them: let them be cast into the fire; into deep pits, that they rise not up again.
Ps 140:11 Let not an evil speaker be established in the earth: evil shall hunt the violent man to overthrow him.
Ps 140:12 I know that the LORD will maintain the cause of the afflicted, and the right of the poor.

Ro 8:17 And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.
Ro 8:18 For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.
Ro 8:19 For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.
Ro 8:20 For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope,
Ro 8:21 Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.
Ro 8:22 For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now.
Ro 8:23 And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.
Ro 8:24 For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for?
Ro 8:25 But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it.

THEY who have seen and tasted how gracious the Lord is, will be calling for more such sights and tastes; and the more they have had of these sights and tastes, the more they will desire them.

Lu 9:49 And John answered and said, Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name; and we forbad him, because he followeth not with us. Lu 9:50 And Jesus said unto him, Forbid him not: for he that is not against us is for us.

Mr 4:30 And he said, Whereunto shall we liken the kingdom of God? or with what comparison shall we compare it?

Ec 12:8 Vanity of vanities, saith the preacher; all is vanity.
Ec 12:9 And moreover, because the preacher was wise, he still taught the people knowledge; yea, he gave good heed, and sought out, and set in order many proverbs.
Ec 12:10 The preacher sought to find out acceptable words: and that which was written was upright, even words of truth.
Ec 12:11 The words of the wise are as goads, and as nails fastened by the masters of assemblies, which are given from one shepherd.
Ec 12:12 And further, by these, my son, be admonished: of making many books there is no end; and much study is a weariness of the flesh.
Ec 12:13 Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.
Ec 12:14 For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.
Jas 3:1 My brethren, be not many masters, knowing that we shall receive the greater condemnation.
Jas 3:2 For in many things we offend all. If any man offend not in word, the same is a perfect man, and able also to bridle the whole body.
Jas 3:3 Behold, we put bits in the horses' mouths, that they may obey us; and we turn about their whole body.
Jas 3:4 Behold also the ships, which though they be so great, and are driven of fierce winds, yet are they turned about with a very small helm, whithersoever the governor listeth.
Jas 3:5 Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth!
Jas 3:6 And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell.
Jas 3:7 For every kind of beasts, and of birds, and of serpents, and of things in the sea, is tamed, and hath been tamed of mankind:
Jas 3:8 But the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.
Jas 3:9 Therewith bless we God, even the Father; and therewith curse we men, which are made after the similitude of God.
Jas 3:10 Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be.
Jas 3:11 Doth a fountain send forth at the same place sweet water and bitter?
Jas 3:12 Can the fig tree, my brethren, bear olive berries? either a vine, figs? so can no fountain both yield salt water and fresh.
Jas 3:13 Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him shew out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom.
Jas 3:14 But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth.
Jas 3:15 This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish.
Jas 3:16 For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work.
Jas 3:17 But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.
Dear Lord please lead us into positive paths of speech on this day and please show us that there is a need to say words that will help others find the good and the beauty of the day and to guard our mouths from words that will belittle those who are unfortunate and misunderstood because their ways are not our ways.
Dear Lord please lead us to say words that will further understanding among Your Children and further the reach of Your Kingdom, in Jesus Christ's name we pray, amen.

Ec 12:8 Vanity of vanities, saith the preacher; all is vanity.
Ec 12:9 And moreover, because the preacher was wise, he still taught the people knowledge; yea, he gave good heed, and sought out, and set in order many proverbs.
Ec 12:10 The preacher sought to find out acceptable words: and that which was written was upright, even words of truth.
Ec 12:11 The words of the wise are as goads, and as nails fastened by the masters of assemblies, which are given from one shepherd.
Ec 12:12 And further, by these, my son, be admonished: of making many books there is no end; and much study is a weariness of the flesh.
Ec 12:13 Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.

Dear Lord please be with us this day and may Your Holy Spirit please be guiding and protecting us in every thing that we say and do. Thank You for all of the great gifts and blessings and protection that You have given us and please forgive our sins the same as we forgive the mistakes of others.

Jas 1:15 Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.
Jas 1:16 Do not err, my beloved brethren.

Dear Lord please lead us on paths away from frustration and confusion on this day and please lead us into paths of acceptance of our life within our limitations and abilities.
Dear Lord please lead us into the enjoyment of the opportunities that we have to bloom where You may need a blossom, in Jesus Christ's name we pray, amen.
KJV*
Isa 40:3 The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the LORD, make straight in the desert a highway for our God.
Isa 40:4 Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill shall be made low: and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough places plain:
Isa 40:5 And the glory of the LORD shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it.
Isa 40:6 The voice said, Cry. And he said, What shall I cry? All flesh is grass, and all the goodliness thereof is as the flower of the field:
Isa 40:7 The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: because the spirit of the LORD bloweth upon it: surely the people is grass.
Isa 40:8 The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand for ever.
Ro 12:1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.
Ro 12:2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
Ro 12:3 For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.
Ro 12:4 For as we have many members in one body, and all members have not the same office:
Ro 12:5 So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another.
Ro 12:6 Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, whether prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of faith;
Ro 12:7 Or ministry, let us wait on our ministering: or he that teacheth, on teaching;
Ro 12:8 Or he that exhorteth, on exhortation: he that giveth, let him do it with simplicity; he that ruleth, with diligence; he that sheweth mercy, with cheerfulness.
Ro 12:9 Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good.
Ro 12:10 Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another;
Ro 12:11 Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord;
Ro 12:12 Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer;
Ro 12:13 Distributing to the necessity of saints; given to hospitality.
Ro 12:14 Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not.
Ro 12:15 Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep.
Ro 12:16 Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits.
Ro 12:17 Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men.
Ro 12:18 If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.
Ro 12:19 Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.
Ro 12:20 Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head.
Ro 12:21 Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.
Ro 15:13 Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.

Dear Lord please lead us into paths of accepting that the yoke that we must carry to exist in Your Creation and mingle with Your Children as we all struggle with the worldly values of hate and greed and coveting and lust for our own glory is a cruel yoke, when the Yoke that Jesus offers is always available along with His Wonderful Peace of Mind, in Jesus Christ's name we pray, amen.

I am now drawing toward a close, and let this be my farewell. Whatever difficulties and persecutions may attend you, rejoice always in the Lord; endeavor to maintain an habitual joy in Christ, and in the hopes and privileges you derive from him. And again I say, Rejoice. I renew the exhortation, as the honor of our Divine Master and your own comfort so much depends on attending to it.
Philippians 4:5
Let your moderation and gentleness, both in the pursuit of the various enjoyments of life, and in supporting the injuries and indignities you may meet with, be known unto all men, as visible in the whole of your behavior; for the Lord [is] at hand. He will quickly come to close the scene, and to put an end to all your temporal enjoyments, and all you can suffer from your enemies.
Philippians 4:6
In the mean time, whatever necessities or whatever oppressions may arise, be anxious about nothing, so as to disquiet or distress your minds; but in everything that occurs, in every condition and on every occasion, let your petitions be made known, and breathed out before God, in humble prayer and fervent supplication, to be still mingled with thanksgiving, as there is always room for praise and always occasion for it, even in circumstances of the greatest affliction and distress.
Philippians 4:7 Php 4:7
And if you exercise such a temper, the peace which the blessed Spirit of God diffuses over the souls of his people, that peace which far surpasses all understanding, which none can conceive but he who feels it, and which none can feel but by divine communication, shall guard and defend your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus, so that nothing shall be able to break in upon that sweet and sacred tranquility.
Philippians 4:8
As for what remains, my brethren, let me dispatch it in a few words. Be always intent on raising your characters to the greatest height you possible can: whatever things are true and sincere, whatever things [are] grave and venerable, whatever things [are] righteous and equitable, whatever things [are] chaste and pure, whatever things [are] friendly and kind, whatever things [are] reputable and truly ornamental, if [there be] any real virtue in them, and if [there be] any just praise resulting from them, think frequently of these things, consider what they are, how highly you are obliged to regard them, and endeavor more and more to abound in the practice of them.
Dear Lord please lead us on paths of mercy and love and forgiveness as we seek Your Kingdom on this day and please lead us into the beautiful thought of being able to bring beauty to others in some way from some ability that You may give us if it be Thy Will, for Thine is the Kingdom and the Power and the Glory for ever, in Jesus Christ's name we pray, amen.

A Satisfied Mind
Dear Lord please be with us this day and may Your Holy Spirit please be guiding and protecting us in every thing that we say and do. Thank You for all of the great gifts and blessings and protection that You give us and please forgive the mistakes that we make the same as we forgive the mistakes of others.
Dear Lord please lead us into paths of having a satisfied mind and the peace of thought that we are doing the things that we should and sailing our ships of life in the choppy waters of Your Creation as Your Children, not perfect but trying to hear and follow Your guidance and teachings, in Jesus Christ's name we pray, amen.
KJV*
Isa 58:8 Then shall thy light break forth as the morning, and thine health shall spring forth speedily: and thy righteousness shall go before thee; the glory of the LORD shall be thy rereward.
Isa 58:9 Then shalt thou call, and the LORD shall answer; thou shalt cry, and he shall say, Here I am. If thou take away from the midst of thee the yoke, the putting forth of the finger, and speaking vanity;
Isa 58:10 And if thou draw out thy soul to the hungry, and satisfy the afflicted soul; then shall thy light rise in obscurity, and thy darkness be as the noonday:
Isa 58:11 And the LORD shall guide thee continually, and satisfy thy soul in drought, and make fat thy bones: and thou shalt be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters fail not.
Isa 58:12 And they that shall be of thee shall build the old waste places: thou shalt raise up the foundations of many generations; and thou shalt be called, The repairer of the breach, The restorer of paths to dwell in.
Mt 6:9 After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.
Mt 6:10 Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
Mt 6:11 Give us this day our daily bread.
Mt 6:12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
Mt 6:13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.
Mt 6:14 For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:
Mt 6:15 But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.

Genuine Concerns
Dear Lord please be with us this day and may Your Holy Spirit please be guiding and protecting us in every thing that we say and do. Thank You for all of the great gifts and blessings and protection that You give us and please forgive our sins the same as we forgive the mistakes of others.
Dear Lord please lead us on paths of concern for others that are genuine and with true feelings and that contain the humble love taught by Jesus the Christ, in Jesus Christ's name we pray, amen.

Mr 12:28 And one of the scribes came, and having heard them reasoning together, and perceiving that he had answered them well, asked him, Which is the first commandment of all?
Mr 12:29 And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord:
Mr 12:30 And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment.
Mr 12:31 And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.
Mr 12:32 And the scribe said unto him, Well, Master, thou hast said the truth: for there is one God; and there is none other but he:
Mr 12:33 And to love him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, and with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love his neighbour as himself, is more than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.
Mr 12:34 And when Jesus saw that he answered discreetly, he said unto him, Thou art not far from the kingdom of God. And no man after that durst ask him any question.

Paths of Safety
Dear Lord please be with us this day and may Your Holy Spirit please be guiding and protecting us in every thing that we say and do. Thank You for all of the great gifts and blessings and protection that You have given us and please forgive our sins the same as we forgive the mistakes of others.
Dear Lord please lead us on safe paths this day and please show us places to help others find safety and peace within Your Control and Spiritual guidance when our confidence wavers and it seems that we are in more trouble than we are prepared for and we need to be reminded that "we can do all things through Jesus Christ who strengthens us." Please strengthen us and lead us into paths of confident peace with no doubt nor worry hounding us as we take care of what ever problems spring up in the paths that we are on, in Jesus Christ's name we pray, amen.
KJV*
Ps 23:1 The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.
Ps 23:2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.
Ps 23:3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
Ps 23:4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
Ps 23:5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
Ps 23:6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever
Php 4:12 I know both how to be abased, and I know how to abound: every where and in all things I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need.
Philippians 4:12 Philip Doddridge N T commentary*
For I bless God, I have no need of betaking myself to such low expedients, as I have learned in whatever circumstances I am, to be contended. I know both [how] to be abased, when it pleases God to humble me, and I know [how] to abound, when his providence appears for my supply. In every [place] and in all [conditions] I am instructed, and find myself, as it were, initiated into this great mystery so needful to the Christian, and especially the apostolic life, both to be fed plentifully without transgressing the rules of temperance, and to suffer hunger without murmuring or discontent. I know how both to abound, without too fond an attachment to the world, when my circumstances in it are most easy, and to fall short of the agreeable accommodations of life, yea, and to be in necessity, without being greatly disturbed at such a change, or feeling any painful anxiety on account of it. In one word, whatever is to be done, whatever is to be borne, I am sufficient for all things; have vigor enough for the one, have patience and fortitude enough for the other:
Php 4:13 I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.
Philippians 4:13
but then I would not be understood to arrogate any thing of this to myself, but would most humbly and affectionately acknowledge that it is all through Christ who enables me, and furnishes my spirit of which it is naturally destitute.
