Do Good

Do we really understand just how valuable we are to the Lord?  Have we been able to comprehend the extend of His love and grace for us?  Do we really get it?

Matthew 12:11-12 says, "If any of you has a sheep and it falls into a pit on the Sabbath, will you not take hold of it and lift it out?  How much more valuable is a man than a sheep!  Therefore it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath."  NIV

We aren't suppose to get so caught up in the laws that we lack doing good for the one that needs it on the Sabbath, even if it is an animal.  The Lord didn't make the laws, so that they would keep us from doing good, but to remind us what is good.  We're to honor the Sabbath by extending kindness when the opportunities arise no matter what day it is.
