whenever

Therefore, whenever we have the opportunity, we should do good to everyone—especially to those in the family of faith. Galatians 6:10 NLT

Doing good can mean we become involved when our inclination is to not bother. This morning I was walking my dog, not particularly wanting to but praying in the spirit the whole time. As I was returning to my street I saw a man with a backpack veer into a now vacant premises and it appears he was out of bounds.  I went to the house, and waited for him to reappear. I asked whT he was doing. He said he wanted to buy a house like the one in question. I said, "well this is sold, and not available". He said it was no harm to look and walked off. My problem with the man was the way he entered the property, the way he spoke and how he turned around, and walked back up my street entering a neighbours house. He was a stranger, and he was in no way able to afford $600,000 plus for the house in question. He was snooping.  We have had a lot of break-ins in the city of late but we have a vigilant members in our street, of which I am one. I alerted my street via our Facebook page. Now, I felt silly, and I did not want to indict an innocent man however I took the chance that it was Important. If villians know we are vigilant they will choose somewhere else.

The same goes for people in our lives. We must be alert, and ever willing to speak God 's word to them. We cannot turn a blind eye to sin. All evil needs for it to prosper is for good people to do nothing. Amen!
