pray & watch..

Keep praying, being watchful with a thankful heart. Collossians 4:2 (PM Version)

So he says to me 
"Keep on pra-y-ing,
being watchful (with 
heart that is not stiff)"

"Over what?" I say-s,
for if I obeys,
& then does, & prays
(over many days,

so I'm "keeping on"),
"What do I look at?
What do I watch for?"
All he said was ".. with..

..with a thankful heart."
What did Yeshua
tell his people to
watch for? - or to do -

be on guard against?
And what things incensed
him? (For which dispensed
they his life, so hence

his young brother's warn-
ing of what is born
from those leaders's wis-
dom; but take on His!)

Well, maybe a start
is that "thankful heart"
to be watching "with",
as He did with kith

& kin, & others
(who weren't his brothers),
'specially when they poke
things at him, & joke

at his expense to
lift themselves to do
what was in their hearts
- to swell and puff parts.

Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation:...
Mk14:38 (ASV)

As thousands of people crowded together, so that they were stepping on each other, Jesus said first to his disciples, “Be on guard against the yeast of the Pharisees—I mean their hypocrisy.
Lk 12:1 GNTD

Are there any of you who are wise and understanding? You are to prove it by your good life, by your good deeds performed with humility and wisdom. But if in your heart you are jealous, bitter, and selfish, don't sin against the truth by boasting of your wisdom. Such wisdom does not come down from heaven; it belongs to the world, it is unspiritual and demonic. Where there is jealousy and selfishness, there is also disorder and every kind of evil. But the wisdom from above is pure first of all; it is also peaceful, gentle, and friendly; it is full of compassion and produces a harvest of good deeds; it is free from prejudice and hypocrisy.
Jas 3:13‭-‬17 GNTD

It is true, of course, that “all of us have knowledge,” as they say. Such knowledge, however, puffs a person up; but love builds up.
1 Co 8:1
