James 4:17 New International Version (NIV)
17 If anyone, then, knows the good they ought to do and
doesn’t do it, it is sin for them.
Jesus taught this principle when he healed on the Sabbath (Mark
3:1-7) and told the parable of the Good Samaritan (Luke 10:29-37). Our Lord
made it clear that to neglect to do a good deed for another in need, even if we
had a religious excuse for not doing it, was to do evil. Let's be a people
known for doing good deeds and sharing kindness. Let's not let any excuse,
especially a religious excuse, interfere with our glorious and holy
opportunities to serve others in the name of Jesus.
Thought for today:
Can I continue to do “the right thing” in spite of my financial and emotional
circumstances?
