Ever play the game, "If you knew there was absolutely no way you would ever get caught, would you...?" A lot of people play that game every day without realizing how dangerous it is and that it's not a game.
I overheard a discussion not long ago where two people were talking about money, and one asked the other if there was absolutely no way he would ever get caught would he steal a million dollars. The person that had been asked replied that they would probably do it. The person who asked said, "Even if you don't get caught, you still took something that belongs to someone else."
Today's word is Leviticus 25:17, ESV, which reads, "You shall not wrong one another, but you shall fear your GOD, for I am the LORD your GOD."
It seems that in this world, especially lately, everyone wants to "wrong" someone. It seems that everyone feels that if "everyone else is doing it", then, they want to get their part and participate too. Well, first, as you have heard me say before, not everyone is doing it (I'm not, and I know several who aren't). Secondly, if there is a majority of people seemingly doing it, it makes it no less wrong. You absolutely cannot do wrong and be right.
I pray that I will go through my life one day at a time purposely looking to not wrong anyone. I will try to right the wrongs I commit and try to prevent the ones that I control. Whether anyone will ever know or not is irrelevant; GOD knows. And, whether anyone is watching or not doesn't matter; you cannot do wrong and be right. So, would you do it?
Be Blessed,
Mickey T
