Name: Josh
Scripture: Leviticus 19-20
"16'Don't spread gossip and rumors. Don't do anything that endangers your neighbor's life. I am God. 17Don't secretly hate your neighbor. If you have something against him, get it out into the open; otherwise you are an accomplice in his guilt. 18Don't seek revenge or carry a grudge against any of your people. Love your neighbor as yourself. I am God.' " Leviticus 19:16-18
OAP: It's weird. As i was reading the passage tonight a friend asked me for advice on what to do about someone who had recently spread a nasty rumor about them. And i was like wow, i have almost no context for the situation but i think i know the answer already because of verses 17+18. Apparently the advice i gave (which came straight from the bible) helped a lot too. It's cool when stuff in the bible shows up so tangibly and applies to everyday life. God is working even where we can't see him or don't recognize his fingerprints.
Prayer: Thank you God for being so relevant and for leaving a book full of the greatest advice ever given.

Good for you. I hope your friend is able to work out this rumor stuff...it's nasty business (perhaps a Code Brown).
