Something or Everything?

SCRIPTURE
SCRIPTURE:
Matt. 7:12 So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets. NIV

OBSERVATION
Do you notice that it says ‘Everything?’ Not just a few things but all things! Being considerate of others is one of the foundational teachings of Scripture. The Bible is
an ‘Other’ centered book. One person said: With one small exception, the whole world is all about others. If we take this to heart, we will life a full life and fulfill the teachings of the Law and Prophets. Maybe this is why we callthis the golden rule because it is very costly when you don’t function this way!


APPLICATION
Before I act on my emotional sense, I am going to pass my feelings through the grid of my mind and the Holy Scriptures.

PRAYER

May I be one of those who seeks to put others first in all I do and do to them only those things that I would want done to me.
