Gen 46:1-7,28-30, Ps37,
Matt 10:16-23

Cunning as serpents and harmless as doves

Martin Luther King Jr. once preached on this scripture and interpreted it as Have a tough mind and a tender heart. Both are necessary to be a disciple of Jesus, and indeed for a happy life. A tender heart is more important perhaps. A single- minded love of the truth is a good companion to a loving heart. How do I rate? I can improve my mind, and I can be a more loving person.
