Loyalty to one self and loyalty to others often gets lost in the everyday haze of living. Lines of morality, ethics and righteousness are often crossed in the name of expediency. The motivation for power and success betrays our clarity to support Jesus teachings. We fall short daily in the excellencies of Gods laws. Strive to keep God’s commandments and walk in God’s ways. God’s word is a lamp at our feet and a light unto our path. Strengthen your resolve for right over wrong and allow righteousness to percolate in your heart. All to the glory of God.

Amen.

Based on the Readings for the week: Deuteronomy 30:15-20; Psalm 119:1-8; Matthew 5:21-37
