Fearing people is a dangerous trap,
but trusting the LORD means safety.

Blessings of Giving Privately
…Don’t do your good deeds publicly,
to be admired by others,
for you will lose the reward from your Father in heaven.
…when you give to someone in need,
don’t let your left hand know what your right hand is doing.
Give your gifts in private,
and your Father, who sees everything, will reward you.
(Eastern Gate viewed from Church of All Nations
on Mt. of Olives, Jerusalem)
Blessings of Good Sense
A house is built by wisdom
and becomes strong through good sense.
Through knowledge its rooms are filled
with all sorts of precious riches and valuables.
The wise are mightier than the strong,
and those with knowledge grow stronger and stronger.
Blessings of Obedience
…love your enemies!
Pray for those who persecute you!
In that way, you will be acting as true children
of your Father in heaven.
For he gives his sunlight to both the evil and the good,
and he sends rain on the just and the unjust alike.
