50 Commandments of Jesus
16. Do Not Cast Pearls—Matthew 7:6
“Do not give dogs what is sacred; do not throw your pearls to pigs. If you do, they may trample them under their feet, and then turn and tear you to pieces.
Good morning, Lord, please teach us how to reach our corner of the world with love and wisdom and discernment. Please help us treat Your sacred promises and truths with the honor due these precious commodities. Please help us not be a stumbling block to anyone: believer, unbeliever, seeker, skeptic, whoever. Please help us not be dogs or pigs, tearing to pieces the faith of others, rather help us build others up in love and unity, we pray in Jesus name, amen.
From biblehub.com, HELPS Word-studies:
Dogs: 2965 kýōn – literally, a dog, scavenging canine; (figuratively) a spiritual predator who feeds off others.
(Unfortunately HELPS Word-studies doesn't have a similar explanation for pigs)
