Help yourself or hurt yourself


The present Bible text teaches us of the social impact of our decisions. I am not the only one enjoying or suffering the consequences of my actions. God rewards integrity. Unite yourself with God’s loyal people, the people that seek His wisdom and His life.

When you’re kind to others, you help yourself;
   when you’re cruel to others, you hurt yourself.
18 Bad work gets paid with a bad check;
   good work gets solid pay.
19 Take your stand with God’s loyal community and live,
   or chase after phantoms of evil and die.
20 God can’t stand deceivers,
   but oh how he relishes integrity.
21 Count on this: The wicked won’t get off scot-free,
   and God’s loyal people will triumph.
(Prov.11:17-21 MSG)

Prayer: Help me love others as I love myself. I want to stand in integrity being loyal to You. Help me to understand Your principles and live by them.
