Scripture

Acts 25

8 Paul denied the charges. “I am not guilty of any crime against the Jewish laws or the Temple or the Roman government,” he said.

Observation

Sometimes we as Christians can some times think that for some reason we are above the law. Some Christians in Haiti thought that they would take children from Haiti to the Dominican Republic even though they were breaking the law doing it. They were trying to help the children and thought that it was more important to save the children than keep the law of the land. They have had a lot of time in jail to think about that poor choice or decision.

It is easy to think that because we are working for the Lord that we can just ignore some of these man made laws, but that is not usually the case. It is important to be people of integrity and obey both God’s laws and man made laws too.

Application

I will be a person of integrity.

Prayer

Heavenly Father, I do pray for those missionaries in Haiti that are still under arrest. I pray that You protect those that are still being detained, but I also pray that all of those that were arrested will understand that you can’t ignore man made laws just because you are in their country on a mission trip. I pray for those working in Haiti that You give them good success.
