Considerate

Philippians 4


4 Always be full of joy in the Lord. I say it again—rejoice! 5 Let everyone see that you are considerate in all you do. Remember, the Lord is coming soon.


While I have often referred to verse four, verse five seems to have slipped my notice in the past. Yes, we should be filled with joy, rejoicing always, but the natural tie and and result of being filled with joy is to live a life that is considerate in all you do. Then, there is the kicker: “Remember, the Lord is coming soon.” How many times am I less than considerate of others without even thinking about it, or meaning to be inconsiderate? Far too often, I am afraid. Help me Lord, starting to today to be much more intentional and much more considerate of others ALWAYS.
