Tuesday – Pentateuch
Reading – Deuteronomy 21-22
Highlight Verse:
““If you see your neighbor’s ox or sheep or goat wandering away, don’t ignore your responsibility. Take it back to its owner.”
Deuteronomy 22:1 NLT
There are a lot of rules in this chapter that were either specific to the culture or superseded by the Cross.
But they all had strong principles behind them.
Today’s verse has a unique command.
While it’s much less likely today that people would have to follow the letter of this law, the idea still holds true.
Simply put, watch out for your neighbor’s stuff.
If we watched out for each other like suggested here, our communities would be stronger and safer.
Have you ever returned one of your neighbor’s possessions you found?
What other things can you do for your neighbor to build community?
