Morning Prayer for December 11
My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O LORD; in the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee, and will look up.
God’s Word
Let not then your good be evil spoken of
Today’s takeaway: Live so that your good is not spoken of as evil, and care for weaker believers.
Abstain from all appearance of evil.
Providing for honest things, not only in the sight of the Lord, but also in the sight of men.
For so is the will of God, that with well doing ye may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men
But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or as a thief, or as an evildoer, or as a busybody in other men’s matters. Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf.
Brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another.
Take heed lest by any means this liberty of your’s become a stumblingblock to them that are weak.
Whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.
Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.
Prayer
Lord, do not let the good I have received be spoken of as evil because of how I use it. Keep me from every appearance of evil. Let me do what is honest before You and before people. By doing good, let me silence foolish talk. Help me use my freedom to serve and never to become a stumbling block to someone weaker. Whatever I do for the least, I do for You. In Jesus' name, Amen.
Pray as Jesus taught us
Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.
Amen.
Blessing
The LORD bless thee, and keep thee: The LORD make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee: The LORD lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace.
