Look Out!

Reading of the Day 2/28/25: Deuteronomy 22-24

Deuteronomy 22:1: Thou shalt not see thy brother's ox or his sheep go astray, and hide thyself from them: thou shalt in any case bring them again unto thy brother.

Being a Christian and being a bystander is impossible. When we see someone struggling and in need, we cannot fall victim to the bystander effect as a true Christian. We cannot look around & think someone else will just step up & take care of it. We may be the only one with Christian values in the room! That person is there counting on us, and God planted us there for a specific reason! Also, if someone who does not claim to be a Christian steps up, what does that say about us? I am not saying we are the heroes & no one else has the capacity to be so...everyone has the ability to answer the call & vill the void...but if we truly follow Christ as the true Hero, and we know He never ever turns a blind eye to us, how could we possibly do that to others? We serve a God Who never lets us down! He is always looking out for us! So, we need to LOOK OUT! We need to be aware of those in need around us! We need to be our brother's keeper! When we have the Holy Ghost, we have a God Who works in us & does the work through us, so we never have to worry about how we will help...we just have to say yes! Just as the Scripture says, we need to restore & provide for others when we are able to. We cannot hide & turn a blind eye, because we would then be doing that to Jesus. We need to look out & love others, because He loved us first!
