Sin Foundations - Fear To Do Right


"But Reuben heard this and rescued him out of their hands and said, 'Let us not take his life.'  Reuben further said to them, 'Shed no blood.  Throw him into this pit that is in the wilderness, but do not lay hands on him' -- that he might rescue him out of their hands, to restore him to his father."  Genesis 37:21-22

Have you ever been afraid to do the right thing in front of others who might argue with you, or hurt you in some way?  It is difficult to stand up for what is right sometimes...yet...

Take care with love, especially His!  Your servant and friend in Christ, Darlene
