Beware of false prophets
who come disguised as harmless sheep
but are really vicious wolves.
…just as you can identify a tree by its fruit,
so you can identify people by their actions.
Beware of false prophets
who come disguised as harmless sheep
but are really vicious wolves.
…just as you can identify a tree by its fruit,
so you can identify people by their actions.
…from there you will search again
for the LORD your God.
And if you search for him with all your heart and soul,
you will find him.
Do to others
whatever you would like them to do to you.
This is the essence of all that is taught
in the law and the prophets.
Keep on asking,
and you will receive what you ask for.
Keep on seeking, and you will find.
Keep on knocking,
and the door will be opened to you.
For everyone who asks, receives.
Everyone who seeks, finds.
And to everyone who knocks, the door will be opened.
You have seen everything
the LORD your God has done for you…
The LORD your God has fought for you
against your enemies.
Do not judge others,
and you will not be judged.
For you will be treated as you treat others.
The standard you use in judging
is the standard by which you will be judged.
Blessings of awareness of being judgmental,
…Love the LORD your God,
walk in all his ways,
obey his commands,
hold firmly to him,
and serve him with all your heart
and all your soul.
“…not to worry about everyday life—
whether you have enough food and drink,
or enough clothes to wear.
Isn’t life more than food,
and your body more than clothing?
Look at the birds.
They don’t plant or harvest or store food in barns,
for your heavenly Father feeds them.
And aren’t you far more valuable to him than they are?
