REMEMBER

Tobit 4:5-7(not in the Protestant Bible)

My son, remember the Lord our God all your days, and do not desire to sin or to disobey His commandments. Do righteousness all the days of your life, and do not walk in the ways of wrongdoing. For if you walk in the truth, you will be successful in your works. Do almsgiving from your possessions to all who do righteousness. When you do almsgiving, do not let your eye be envious. Do not turn your face away from any poor man, so the face of God will not be turned away from you.

Personal Challenge

Tobit gives very wise advise to his son, and therefore to all of us who desire to follow in the footsteps of Christ. Remember the Lord all your days. Do not desire to sin. Do not disobey His commandments. Do almsgiving and do not do it reluctantly. Do not turn away from any poor person. Christianity is always other focused, if it is done right. Lord, have mercy! Lord, have mercy! Lord, have mercy!
