To Be Considerate

 

Dear Lord please be with us this day and please may Your Holy Spirit be guiding and protecting us in every thing that we say and do. Thank You for all of the great gifts and the blessings and the 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 recollection and realization into the devastation that our actions can cause in the lives of others when we are selfish and inconsiderate as we mix and mingle with Your Children in Your Creation while seeking Your Kingdom among the temptations of this world when we have only our own interest in our minds and not what value is being put on our thoughts and deeds, in Jesus Christ's name we pray, amen.


RSV*

Mic 6:1 Hear what the LORD says: Arise, plead your case before the mountains, and let the hills hear your voice.

Mic 6:2 Hear, you mountains, the controversy of the LORD, and you enduring foundations of the earth; for the LORD has a controversy with his people, and he will contend with Israel.


Luke 6:40 Lu 6:40

" Doddridge commentary  Power Bible cd 

There is little reason to hope that, under their instruction, you should be wiser and better than they: for it is, you know, a common proverb, That  the scholar is not above his teacher; but all that can reasonably be expected is, that every one who is a finished [scholar] should come up to him that teaches him; and it is this that he will principally aim at, to be as his master: It is of great importance therefore that you should well consider whom you take to be your teachers; for it is necessary your righteousness exceed that of the scribes and Pharisees, if you expect a share in the kingdom of heaven. (See Mt 5:20; 10:24-25). "
