Be kind

“The people of Israel became sorry for Binyamin their brother said, Today one tribe has been cut off from Israel.”
Judges 21:6 CJB

Do we feel sorry for people or do we condemn them? Do we have compassion or do we have a hard heart towards them?

“Adonai is good to all; His compassion rests on all His creatures.”
Psalm 145:9 CJB

Since Adonai is good to all, we should do the same: be good to all, taking refuge in Him and sharing that refuge with the poor around us!

“Adonai is good, a stronghold in time of trouble; He takes care of those who take refuge in Him.”
Nahum 1:7 CJB

Yes, God is good to us, so we should be good to those around, having compassion and being kind!
Have a blessed day being kind to someone today!

God is faithful to forgive!

“Turn over these good-for-nothings who are in Giv`ah at once, so that we can execute them and rid Israel of such evil. But the people of Binyamin refused to obey the order of their kinsmen the people of Israel.”
Judges 20:13 CJB

The obvious thing to do here would be to give up these evil men, but instead the Benjamites protected these evil men! Sadly, we see this happening today, with some people who want to protect drug dealers, human traffickers and embezzlers!

“They have deeply corrupted themselves, as in the days of Giv`ah. He will remember their guilt, and He will punish their sins.”
Hosea 9:9 CJB

Understand God will deal with corruption, no one is getting away with anything! What we need to remember is when we blow it, it’s best to give up, admit you’re wrong and repent! God is faithful and just to forgive!

“If we acknowledge our sins, since He is trustworthy and just, He will forgive them and purify us from all wrongdoing.”
1 John 1:9 CJB

Remember the key always is acknowledge, admit and repent! God will do the rest forgive, forget and restore!
Have a blessed day glorifying God!
