Not into Evil Traps


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 into paths of truth and mercy on this day as we are bombarded with the worldly pressures and lusting covetousness for power and wealth and where hatred and greedy desires are holding court for all who fall into the traps set for the unwise and foolish who must suffer from countless wounds and broken worldly promises.
Dear Lord please help us to set markers to show others  the paths that lead away from these traps and toward Your Kingdom, in Jesus Christ's name we pray, amen. 

KJV*
Lu 6:37  Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven:
Lu 6:38 Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again. 
Lu 6:39 And he spake a parable unto them, Can the blind lead the blind? shall they not both fall into the ditch? 
Lu 6:40 The disciple is not above his master: but every one that is perfect shall be as his master. 
Lu 6:41 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but perceivest not the beam that is in thine own eye? 
Lu 6:42 Either how canst thou say to thy brother, Brother, let me pull out the mote that is in thine eye, when thou thyself beholdest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of thine own eye, and then shalt thou see clearly to pull out the mote that is in thy brother's eye. 
Lu 6:43 For a good tree bringeth not forth corrupt fruit; neither doth a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. 
Lu 6:44 For every tree is known by his own fruit. For of thorns men do not gather figs, nor of a bramble bush gather they grapes. 
Lu 6:45 A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh. 
Lu 6:46 And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say? 
Lu 6:47 Whosoever cometh to me, and heareth my sayings, and doeth them, I will shew you to whom he is like: 
Lu 6:48 He is like a man which built an house, and digged deep, and laid the foundation on a rock: and when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently upon that house, and could not shake it: for it was founded upon a rock. 
Lu 6:49 But he that heareth, and doeth not, is like a man that without a foundation built an house upon the earth; against which the stream did beat vehemently, and immediately it fell; and the ruin of that house was great.

Ro 12:9 Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good.
