VERSE:
This is what the LORD Almighty says: "Administer true justice;
show mercy and compassion to one another. Do not oppress the widow
or the fatherless, the alien or the poor. In your hearts do not
think evil of each other."
-- Zechariah 7:9-10
http://www.SearchGodsWord.org/desk/?query=Zechariah+7:9-10
THOUGHT:
Do you want a clear, simple, straightforward word from the Lord
today? That's what Zechariah gives us. He reminds us that God wants
us to be fair, compassionate, caring, without prejudice, and
tenderhearted to those in need, and to give each other the benefit
of the doubt. In other words, he wants us to treat each other like
Christ treated people. Why? Because we can't be right with God and
be wrong with people!
PRAYER:
Loving Father, please forgive me for the times I've gotten
bogged down with hard-to-understand verses in Scripture and ignored
your clear teaching on how to live. Please give me the opportunity
this week to live like you have commanded me. In the future, when
my heart grows cold or my response to others is not what it should
be, please use your Spirit to bring to my remembrance this passage
so that I might live it to your glory. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
