Meditation
Thursday, Ordinary 21, Proper 16 will be simplified today as I am going into the hospital for testing. Nothing to worry about, routine, but long lasting.
Here are the Scriptures to read and study.
The Psalmist David, gave a great example of how we should prepare for worship at church or at any time during the day.
The Old Testament lesson listed the blessings of Jacob upon his sons. What if parents today spoke and printed ‘blessings’ for their children? It shifts the focus, doesn’t it?
The New Testament lesson scolded the new Christians for taking law suits to each other instead of working things out. As Christians, we should not be so divisive and unable to work things out. That reflects badly on us—not God. We are not listening to God when we cannot work things out.
If we put things on God’s altar and asked for guidance in solving issues, just thing where we might be?
Blessings on your study of God’s word
Thanks be to God.¬¬

Prayer: Almighty God, Open my eyes that I might see. Open my mind that I might understand. Open my heart that I might make your words a part of me. May the words of my mouth and the meditations of my heart be acceptable in your sight. Amen

1 Corinthians 6:1-11
King James Version (KJV)
6 Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to law before the unjust, and not before the saints?
2 Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters?
3 Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life?
4 If then ye have judgments of things pertaining to this life, set them to judge who are least esteemed in the church.
5 I speak to your shame. Is it so, that there is not a wise man among you? no, not one that shall be able to judge between his brethren?
6 But brother goeth to law with brother, and that before the unbelievers.
7 Now therefore there is utterly a fault among you, because ye go to law one with another. Why do ye not rather take wrong? why do ye not rather suffer yourselves to be defrauded?
8 Nay, ye do wrong, and defraud, and that your brethren.
9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,
10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.
11 And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.
