Title: Blessed People / Topic: God's Law

Today’s Reading: Exodus 23; Exodus 24; Psalm 14; Acts 5

Scripture: Exodus 23:4-5
4 "If you come across your enemy's ox or donkey wandering off, be sure to take it back to him. 5 If you see the donkey of someone who hates you fallen down under its load, do not leave it there; be sure you help him with it.

Observation: These words instruct the people of God to show practical care for others. I love the fact that God, in most of these chapters gives laws and regulations that are so good to and for the people themselves. So often we tend to think that God gives laws to restrict His people. But the truth is, His laws, if followed, bring great blessing, protection, and goodness into the lives of those who follow them.

Application: Live in God's light. It is such a great life of blessing. Love God for His goodness and love.

Prayer: Thank You, Lord, for Your goodness. You are so loving to Your people. Help us to appreciate the good things that You give to us and the true blessing of Your laws.
This I pray in Jesus’ name, Amen.
