Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for
the Lord your God is with you wherever you go. – Joshua 1:9
Within the passage Exodus
22:1-15 as written about in the post “Love
Your Neighbor as Yourself” are penalties for deliberate theft and
negligence. This passage elaborates on the Eighth Commandment in which the
instruction is to not kill or steal but to show genuine concern for your neighbor.
In order to manage society’s problems,
we should each show concern for our neighbor’s possessions and alert
authorities if a theft or crime is taking place in our neighborhood. As in the
song Voice of Truth by Casting Crowns,
we should have the courage to make a stand against those who take advantage of
others.
