Thoought for Tuesday October 14

Let your mercy come to me, O Lord.
And I will walk at liberty,
because I seek your precepts.
Let your mercy come to me, O Lord.

 

Luke 11: 37 – 41  After Jesus had spoken, a Pharisee invited him to dine at his home.

 

Would I have invited Jesus to dinner after all of the “challenging” things he said over the last week?  Do you think anyone who had just heard Jesus preach envied the Pharisee who invited Jesus?

 

Action:  Pay attention to the people around you.  If anyone seems intimidated because of your position, size, demeanor, etc, make an effort to be more approachable.   If there is someone who intimidates you, make the effort  to speak up in his or her presence.
