To do What is "Right."

Moses' years in Egypt provided an education that was superb and at his disposal was the best in all that mattered. Yet, still the land was filled with injustice, injury and fear. Moses committed murder, and tried to cover it up, and later was "outed" by the very people he sought to help.
Despite the modern advancements in the world we live in, we are still beaten, broken and bludgeoned by sin at every turn. Why do we respond to injustice with more injustice or counter anger toward us with renewed anger toward others? Can it be that even given all our progress we are still so far from the perfect people we expect in each other?
"There is no one righteous, no not one" (Romans 3:10). Apart from the hope of Christ, our best efforts amount to nothing more than the attempt to make two wrongs equal a right. Today, let us not evaluate the world by its system of "right and wrong," rather by the grace of God and his holiness alone.
"For by grace you have been saved though faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God" (Ephesians 2:8).
David Young Jr.
