Deuteronomy 22:1 Caring for your neighbors property

Good morning everyone! God is good all the time, all the time God is good. TOO BLESSED TO BE STRESSED!

How are things going in your life? Well, I do trust. God is a living God and is always there for us. Are we always there for Him? Do you walk the walk and talk the talk? Or do you just talk?

I can talk, and I have good intentions, however, you know what they say about good intentions. Do you take your responsibility as a Christian seriously? Do you take your responsibility as a neighbor seriously?

Deuteronomy 22:1 "If you see your neighbor's ox or sheep or goat wandering away, don't ignore your responsibility. Take it back to its owner."

The Hebrews were to care for and return lost animals or possessions to their rightful owners. The way of the world, by contrast, is "Finders keepers, losers weepers." If we get past the finders-keepers rule by protecting and returning the property of others, we keep from being envious and greedy.

What attitude does today's society have? A young boy, elementary school age, breaks into a house, gets caught and what happens. He has to return the items but no criminal charges are filed. Is this right? The parents and the boy are not reprimanded; what is happening to our world?

God gives us directions we need to follow; if not, and if we don't believe in God, well, hell is not a nice place. May all you thoughts and actions be God worthy today. Love you all.

In Christ's Love and Grace
