Are we our brother's keeper?

Today's Devotion, Are we our brother's keeper? For us to show that we are our brother's keeper, we must treat people how we want to be treated. If you don't want people to say bad things about you, do not say bad things about others. Are we our brother's keeper when we see someone sabotaging someone who we do not like? Just because we can laugh at their setback, do not laugh when someone falls because life has a way of turning the table when you least expect it.

In Proverbs 24 verse 17 to 18 it is written, Do not rejoice when your enemy falls. Don't gloat over his collapse. God might see and become very provoked and then take pity on his plight.

We cannot adjust God's word to accommodate our ego and we cannot neglect the Bible verses that we are not comfortable living by because of our pride. In Philippians 2 verse 3 to 4 it is written, Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit but in humility count others more significant than ourselves. Let each of us look not only to his own interests but also to the interests of others.

Our character may not be tested inside of the church, it may be tested through an assignment that God will give you outside of the church and this will test our obedience or disobedience to do God's work. Heavenly Father, we pray for those people who we do not see eye to eye with. Help us to let go of bitterness and let us not wish bad things to happen to them.

Lord, help us to see them through your eyes of grace and mercy. Help us not to be influenced by hate and anger but to be guided by love and peace.

All these we ask in Jesus name, Amen.
