"Greetings in the Name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for 15 December 2012, from Cindi, a Daughter of the King of kings, and Lord of lords."
Today's Bible Verse: Commandment Number 8 of God's Ten Commandments
Commandment Number 8: Exodus 20:15 "Thous shall not steal."
Before I begin, as you all know by now a gunmen went into an elementary school of kids 5-10 and opened fire killing 20 children and 6 Adults. Please uplift up the families in Prayer who lost children and loved ones in this senseless shooting of children and school officials. Pray that God's Love, Peace, Strength, and Comfort be with all the families.
The Eighth Commandment of God's Ten Commandments protected the sanctity of property by prohibiting theft. The commandment prohibits stealing of ANY kind. The concern here is not so much the rights of the individuals property, as for the destructive impact of stealing on relationships within the community.
The penalty for theft in the Old Testament is not jail, but restitution by paying back as least twice which was stolen. Payment to the victim is intended to restore harmony by balancing the books, and is not punitive. In our society today, stealing can led to probation, jail time, and in more serious thief's, prison time. In some Third World Countries the penalty for stealing is cutting off of the hands.
Have a God Filled and Spirit Led Day. Go in Peace and Serve the Lord our God with Gladness. Love God More Today. Always remember that when you have a spiritual, emotional, relational, physical, or financial dilemma in your life, and you yell out, "I CAN'T," GOD Whispers to you, "BUT I CAN."
Your Sister in Christ,
Cindi
