Do you practice the ‘golden rule’ in your life?
Therefore, whatever you want men to do to you, do also to them, for this sums up the Law and the prophets.
Matthew 7:12 New King James Version
THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY’S VERSE…
The world calls this the “Golden Rule” – golden because it’s genuine, lasting, viable, valuable, and it’s from God! But it is really God’s rule given through His Holy Son Jesus and it is a spiritual law. A spiritual law is a law from God that will always be true no matter what! Imagine how different our world would be if we practiced this principle all the time – not just in our “church life”, only on Sundays, but in our daily life with our family, with our coworkers and employer, with the people we manage, with the folks on the freeway and in the neighborhoods where we drive and the grocery & stores where we shop. Toward the waiters and waitresses who serve us in the restaurants. Toward the countries of the world that we as a nation deal with everyday. What a wonderfully different world it would be if the “Golden Rule” were to be practiced always in all ways and at all times. I think I’ll start changing my world with it today! Why don’t you. Remember, What you sow is what you will reap! Also one of God’s spiritual laws.
MY PRAYER…
Generous Father, You have blessed me with so many rich and wonderful gifts. You have always given me love, even before I loved you. I understand why now, You wanted love in return. You gave love expecting to get love in return. One thing I still want You to know, Daddy, is that I especially appreciate the love You have bestowed upon me even though I didn’t deserve it, You gave it anyway. Father, help me to do the same with the people my life touches from this moment forward. Lord help me to share with them the love You have bestowed upon me. Work from within me Lord so that, that which I can not of my own-self do, I will do because You are at work in me.
In Jesus’ name I pray.
Amen
