1Corinthians 8:13. “Wherefore, if meat make my brother to offend, I will not eat not flesh while the world standeth, lest I make my brother to offend.” MY BROTHER. My brother is important to God and to me; It would be wrong to offend him by what I do or say. Lord, make me assured that in each act of this day – I will not my brother offend.
The things that I eat hardly seem right or wrong; But it may create problems for one not so strong. So, Lord, keep me sensitive as I travel along – That I will not my brother offend.
There are things I might laugh at that are important to him; For me to ignore his conscience might cause him to sin. And so, Father, make me aware of these things so that when – I don’t make my brother offend.
His conscience is tender, he is starting new life; I’ve been on this road enough to never cause strife. If I allow God to guide me and I follow Thy light – I will not my brother offend.
“O God, give me spiritual insight to avoid the problems that might arise when a brother is weak or new in the faith. Guide my steps; help me guard my mouth; and give me grace to control my thoughts, so my brother is not offended. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.”
