I was looking at the news this week and, like most of you, I was disturbed a bit by the story of the 103 year old woman about to be evicted from her Atlanta home. Obviously, to get to that point means there is a story of issues and a track record of bad communication or inability to comply with or maintain the customer/bank agreement. Issues that are easily resolved or rewritten.
What I realized though is that when the deputies refused to evict her even though the papers in their hand gave them the right to means that morality is still being influenced by what God had laid down centuries ago as right and wrong.
Exodus 22:22-23 says, "Do not exploit widows and orphans. If you do and they cry out to me, then I will surely help them."
So, this Christmas season, remember that even though we may see more celebrating with the "what do I get" and commercialism of the economic factor, we can still rest assured that the reason for Christmas is still the same: God sent His Son into the world to save it!
Merry Christmas!
