Zechariah 7:9-10 Thus speaketh the Lord of hosts, saying,
Execute true judgment, and
shew mercy and compassions every man to his brother: [10] And
oppress not the widow,
nor the fatherless,
the stranger,
nor the poor; and
let none of you imagine evil against his brother in your heart.
Compassion: sympathetic pity and concern for the sufferings or misfortunes of others
Oppress: to press upon, oppress, violate, defraud, do violence, get deceitfully, wrong, extort
Imagine: to think, plan, esteem, calculate, invent, make a judgment, imagine, count
We are to have compassion on others. Especially those in need. At the same time we are not to plan evil against our brother.
So how is compassion level? What about your oppression level? Do you have thoughts of oppression against others? How are you thinking about your brothers and sisters in Christ? Even if it is just thoughts in your heart against them, it is not what God wants.
