PSALM 119:64 (ABP)
GOD, the world is full of your unfaltering love!
School me in your standards.
MATTHEW 7:12 (CEB)
Therefore, you should treat people in the same way that you want people to treat you; this is the Law and the Prophets.
SUMMARY SENTENCE
In a nutshell, God expects that we'll treat everyone in the same way we'd expect to be treated.
DAILY FODDER
Sometimes Matthew 7:12 is called "the golden rule." What makes it so valuable? What makes it so challenging to live by?
PRAYER
Jesus, we treated you worse than we're willing to own up to. Yet, you treated us better than we deserve. Might your grace become a part of our DNA. I want to become like you, treating each individual and each group with extreme grace. Amen.
Our Father in Heaven,
We hold your name in the highest regard.
Please come and establish your reign here on earth
so that everything that happens here will align
with what is happening there.
Give us enough food for today.
Forgive us our wrongdoing,
and we’ll forgive those who have wronged us.
Shield us from the trials and temptations that come our way.
Lastly, we pray that you would protect us from all forms of evil.
Amen!
