S - Matthew 7

O - Do not judge others. Do not look at the speck in my brother's eye when a plank is in my own. Examine my own life. Do not give dogs what is sacred. Do not throw pearls to pigs. They may trample them under their feet. Ask, seek, knock. My father in heaven wants to give good things to me. Do unto others as I would have them do unto me. Enter through the narrow gate. Do the will of my Father in heaven. Not everyone will go to heaven who cries "Lord, Lord." Put into practice God's word. Build my house upon the rock of God. It is foolish not to do what God desires. It is like building my house upon sand. Jesus taught as one who had authority.

A - Examine my own life. Am I building it upon the rock. Don't worry about those around me who may not be following; be concerned with how i am following God. Be careful who I entrust my heart to. Put into practice God's word. Build my house upon the stable Rock of God.

P - Lord, help me to be faithful in following you. Give me discernment with others. Help me to love others as myself. Help me not to foolishly build my life on sand, but to build it upon your foundation. Help me to do your will.
