Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin. - James 4:17

Jesus taught this principle through the parable of the Good Samaritan (Luke 10).

Our Lord made it clear that to neglect to do a good deed for another in need, even if we had an excuse for not doing it, was to do evil. Let us be a people known for doing good deeds and sharing kindness. Do not let any excuse, especially a religious excuse, interfere with our opportunities to help others.

Prayer:

Dead Father, please use me today to bless someone in need so that they may know Your grace and so that the name of Jesus will be glorified.

In Jesus’ Name I pray,

Amen.
