Scripture: "If you see your brother's ox or sheep straying, do not ignore it but be sure to take it back to him." (Deuteronomy 22:1)
Observation: It seems so simple. Help others, be concerned for others.
Application: It should be easy to help friends and family in need. But how about helping strangers? Just today, an old lady had dropped her compact on the floor and didn't realize it. I pointed to it and Paul picked it up and handed it to her. It was a very small gesture, but she seemed to really appreciate it. Simple acts of kindness to strangers should be a part of every day life. Because even strangers can be brothers.
Prayer: Lord, I think I'm pretty good at helping others. I don't think I turn my back on those in need. However, please help me not to judge others that are not this way. I can only control what I do, not what others do. Amen.
