Scripture Share ~ Contentment

Scripture Share ~ Compassion

I'd like to take a few moments to share with you some verses touching on the Biblical idea of compassion. It is the act of being tender hearted toward the needs and sufferings of others and leads to a desire to help others.

Curley with our cat Gemini 

"Finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous" 1 Peter 3:8 

"By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another." John 13:35 

"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law." Galatians 5:22

 "But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion on them, because they fainted, and were scattered abroad, as sheep having no shepherd." Matthew 9:36

 "And they said unto me, The remnant that are left of the captivity there in the province are in great affliction and reproach: the wall of Jerusalem also is broken down, and the gates thereof are burned with fire. And it came to pass, when I heard these words, that I sat down and wept, and mourned certain days, and fasted, and prayed before the God of heaven" Nehemiah 1:3,4

"It is more blessed to give than to receive." Acts 20:35b 

 I hope you join me and set your heart today to show compassion to your fellow man and that he may be helped and the Lord be praised.

Until next time,

Scripture Share ~ Obedience

Thank you for sharing a few moments with me to look over some verses touching on the Biblical idea of obedience. It is the habit of promptness in performing requested tasks with a good spirit.

"Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?" Romans 6:16

"For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous." Romans 5:19

  "Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right. Honour thy father and mother; which is the first commandment with promise; That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth." Ephesians 6

  "Put them in mind to be subject to principalities and powers, to obey magistrates, to be ready to every good work," Titus 3:1

  "Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you." Hebrews 13:17

  "Likewise, ye wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; that, if any obey not the word, they also may without the word be won by the conversation of the wives;" 1 Peter 3:1

I hope you join me and set your heart today to model obedience in your life that your fellow man may be helped and the Lord be praised.

Until next time,

May all your endeavors be a blessing!
