Sunday’s Food for Thoughts – Ethics and Moral Values of the day
The Bible, in Romans 13, teaches us these four ethics and moral values that we should learn and apply in our daily lives:
>> Pay up what we should rightfully pay to others
>> Pay taxes to the government in ways that we rightfully should
>> Pay respect to someone in ways that he / she should rightfully be respected
>> Fear those who should rightfully be feared
These four values somehow tend to be ‘forgotten’ by many, even by those who see themselves as ‘spiritual’.
Often we (consciously or unconsciously) take things for granted when we’ve received goodness consistently over a long period of time. We often fail to appreciate, respect or return what rightfully belongs to others.
I’m grateful for such a lesson, a reminder, for I know I need it from time to time. We all do.
May God continue to give us the much needed strength everyday.
