Here are the verses:
Luke 16:10-
“Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much, and whoever is dishonest with very little will also be dishonest with much.
1 Sam. 16:7-
"But the Lord said to Samuel, “Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The Lord does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.”
This is a way that a person explained this verse in a different way and I thought it was a pretty get way: "Since God looks at the heart of a person and knows it, maybe we should look to God to know that person.:
Palms 18:31-32 (MSG)-
"Is there any god like God?
Are we not at bedrock?
Is not this the God who armed me,
then aimed me in the right direction?"
1 Cor. 15:58-
"Therefore, my dear brothers and sisters, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain."
Psalm 90:12-
"Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom."
Matthew 6:33-
"But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well."
Mark 12:30-
" Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength."
Then one of my favorite authors wrote this in a daily calendar that she wrote and that I have started using everyday or at least try to use everyday:
"Yes, Jesus says we can do all things through Him-but He never says we have to do it all!"-Holley Gerth
It is funny when we see verses like Phil. 4:13 that talks about doing everything in and with Christ. We can take it for real sometimes, when really God is just reminding us that He is there for us when we need to go through a lot of things. We don't have to make ourselves go through a lot. He never says we HAVE TO do everything.
Then I have been thinking a lot about what hospitality and perfection really mean. Here are the meanings from a resource better then me:
Perfection: the state or quality of being or becoming perfect or a quality, trait, or feature of the highest degree of excellence.
Hospitality: the quality or disposition of receiving and treating guests and strangers in a warm, friendly,generous way or the friendly reception and treatment of guests or strangers.
