'Beyond Our Cultural Understanding.'
Genesis 33:6.
a) Then the maids came near
b) With their children,
c) And they bowed themselves.
(This QT makes me realize that there are some things in the Bible that are Beyond Our Cultural Understanding)
PRAYER: For God's Blessing on slaves, servants and their children, wherever they may live.

'Doing The Will Of The Heavenly Father.'
Matthew 7:21.
a) Not everyone who calls out to Me:
b) "Lord, Lord."
c) Will enter the Kingdom of Heaven.
d) Only those who actually do
e) The Will of My Father in Heaven
f) Will enter.
(Through this Second one I clearly understand the importance of Doing The Will Of The Heavenly Father)
PRAYER: To always be Doing The Will Of The Heavenly Father.

In our modern day, "Westernized" United Kingdom, we rarely see people bowing themselves before another. Except, maybe, in the presence of the Royal Family. This is defined as 'cultural progress'. I have no problem with 'cultural progress', it is progressive modernization of the Nation. There is still, however, the need for a humble heart which is often missing in our cultures today. One of the problems of modern society is that so-called 'progress' sometimes obliterates good manners and kindness. It does not have to ... but sometimes it does.
