Don’t Take Advantage of Others

Scripture Leviticus 25: [17] Do not take advantage of each other, but fear your God. I am the LORD your God.

Observation: This world is made up of people taking advantage of other people. There are so many scams to take money from others. Even in the church I see people taking advantage of others. We have become such a sinful generation of people and we don’t only not fear God we ignore Him completely. Our society is designed to put God on the shelf and get the most you can from this world no matter what it takes.

Application: I need to be extra careful on how I deal with others so that I don’t fit into this world. I need to be kind and generous and stand out from the norm of the world. I need to be different in a good way so that others may see the love of God in me and not just another person bent on taking advantage of them. I can’t fit the world’s mold, but be transformed into the image of Christ.

Prayer: My Lord help me not fit in this world, but be a light to direct others to you. I don’t know how you stand looking at this sinful world without ending it, but I know you don’t want none to perish. May I only be focused on what you desire of me and that I will complete the race you have put me in, in glory and honor to your name.
