Praying from 1 Corinthians 8:10. Themes: Weak conscience, Idolatry, Knowledge

Dear Lord, please help us to be mindful of our actions and the impact they may have on others. May we never cause someone to stumble or be emboldened to do something that goes against their conscience. Give us the wisdom to make choices that honor you and show love to those around us. Amen.

Verse: For if a man sees you who have knowledge sitting in an idol’s temple, won’t his conscience, if he is weak, be emboldened to eat things sacrificed to idols?
1 Corinthians 8:10

This is a Command. The verse is instructing the reader to be mindful of their actions in the presence of those who may be weaker in their faith, so as not to lead them astray.
