EXODUS 23:1 (CEB)
Don’t plot with evil people to act as a lying witness.
PHILIPPIANS 4:8 (MSG)
Summing it all up, friends, I’d say you’ll do best by filling your minds and meditating on things true, noble, reputable, authentic, compelling, gracious—the best, not the worst; the beautiful, not the ugly; things to praise, not things to curse.
SUMMARY SENTENCE
Focus on keeping things above board.
PRAYER
Pure and holy God, make me more like you. Honestly, I can entertain malicious thoughts. Troublesome thoughts. Help me monitor my thinking. Help me interrupt judgmental thoughts and replace them with thoughts of praise, truth, and excellence. Help me see the good in others. Make me more like you, pure and holy God. Amen. (Daily Texts, Ground Up Grace edition)
THE LORD’S PRAYER
Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your Name, your Kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us. Save us from the time of trial and deliver us from evil. For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours now and forever. Amen.
