I am the LORD. 15 “Always judge your neighbors fairly, neither favoring the poor nor showing deference to the rich. 16 “Do not spread slanderous gossip among your people. “Do not try to get ahead at the cost of your neighbor’s life, for I am the LORD. 17 “Do not nurse hatred in your heart for any of your relatives. “Confront your neighbors directly so you will not be held guilty for their crimes. 18 “Never seek revenge or bear a grudge against anyone, but love your neighbor as yourself. I am the LORD.
DIRECTIONS
Think on these things and you will have good, solid directions for daily living. What is it that messes us up? Our unwillingness to bend the knee to the Lord. He is with us and He will guide us but we are filled with pride and selfishness that pull us away from the Lord. Ask the Lord to give you the strength, wisdom, mercy and grace that you need to stand and serve Him.
