This one is short and to the point. Don’t steal. The problem is, stealing is like lying- easy, quick, and sometimes, unthinking. The extra change returned goes in the pocket, for example. No one knows, no one notices. So we get away with this little disobedience. We allow the space between us and God, because it’s hardly noticeable after all. The habit of taking something because it’s there, because we want it, because it just doesn’t matter that much- we never repent, because it’s such a little thing.
But anything we allow to come between us and God- well, it can’t be little, can it?
Don’t buy the lie, my friends. Hold tight, pay attention to the little, the simple, the ordinary. Because it is in the abundance of the mundane that our life’s values are revealed.
Father, I pray that we would all take our obedience seriously- even in the easy, little, unnoticeable ways. Give us a deep respect for the property others with the knowledge that everything is yours after all. May we show our love for you in the mundane. #prayersformychildren
