Measured

Measured. I love to cook. An important part of cooking is measuring out the ingredients. I will admit at this point in my life, I don’t necessarily measure in cups and teaspoons. I use the palm of my hand or I look at it and think that is about right. Today the scripture talks about how we measure will be how in the end we will be measured. Sometimes I catch myself and have to remind myself, “is that the  way you want to measure them?” or as the game show says, “Is that your final answer?” Luke 6:38 “Give and gifts will be given to you; a good measure, packed together, shaken down, and overflowing, will be poured into your lap. For the measure with which you measure will in return be measured out to you.” Today I ask God to help me with my measuring of events and people. I ask for wisdom and guidance. This concept is one of the most difficult I live out, but as I walk it, asking for the Holy Spirit to help me, I hope that I can measure justly as God does on the path….
