Are you a king because you excel in cedar? Your own father, did he not eat and drink? He administered justice and righteousness, then it all went well with him. He took up the case of the
poor and needy, then it went well. Is that not what it means to know Me?
Jeremiah 22:15-16
A man was going down to Jericho from Jerusalem and fell into the hands of robbers. They stripped him, beat him up and fled, leaving him half dead. A priest happened to be going down, when he saw him, he passed by on the other side. In the same way a Levite, when he arrived at the place and saw him, passed by on the other side. But a Samaritan on his journey came up to him, when he saw the man, he had compassion, he bandaged his wounds pouring on oil and wine. He put him on his own animal brought him to an inn. Which of these three proved to be a neighbor to to this man? The one who showed him mercy, he said. Jesus told him, "Go and do the same."
Luke 10:30-37
I know society is not my biggest challenge, my biggest challenge is how do I want to live and who am I going to walk with to make that happen? The Savior is not only my obvious choice, He is my ONLY choice. Society is not my greatest challenge, if it was then nature would be really bad because apart from the Eternal One that was about all Cain had when he decided to kill Abel. He turned His back on His ONLY hope. Life's greatest tragedy is missing the Real Deal in life, actually, failing to find and stay focused on The Real Deal. Guarding and treasuring iyour relationship Him. He is the only thing you have, that no one and no thing can take away. The Creator made you in His image. The Savior calls you to be His own, Indelibly marked as one of His. You must choose to be His or choose to be your own, either way you still answer to Him. Study the life of Christ, how he treated EVERYONE else, ask Him for His help, then go and do the same. You will then be The Real Deal.
Matthew 25:31-46, Zechariah 7:8-12
