Every One Over Against His House.
By F.B. Meyer0NEH 3:28PRO 3:5ISA 58:10MAT 5:16LUK 10:27ROM 12:10GAL 6:9PHP 2:4JAS 2:171PE 4:10F.B. Meyer emphasizes the importance of personal responsibility in addressing the evils of the world, urging individuals to focus on improving their immediate surroundings rather than seeking distant opportunities for service. He illustrates this through the example of Meshullam, who repaired the wall opposite his own home, suggesting that everyone should start with their own neighborhood. Meyer encourages believers to seek God's guidance in showing kindness to their neighbors and to take small, deliberate steps in their efforts to build a better community. He reminds us that while we may feel inexperienced, God is the true Architect and Builder, guiding our efforts.
Caring for the Needs Next Door

He illustrates how Jesus was 'moved with compassion' for the weary and scattered, leading Him to actively teach, preach, and heal. Wilkerson challenges Christians to reflect on their own compassion, urging them to respond to the needs around them rather than remaining passive. He encourages believers to ask God how they can help those in need within their own communities, highlighting that God will present opportunities for service. Ultimately, he calls for a commitment to embody God's compassionate heart in practical ways.
