Rachel Workman: 57 “Why can’t you decide for yourselves what is right? 58 When you are on the way to court with your accuser, try to settle the matter before you get there. Otherwise, your accuser may drag you before the judge, who will hand you over to an officer, who will throw you into prison. 59 And if that happens, you won’t be free again until you have paid the very last penny.[f]”
I'm so grateful for God's grace and mercy. If it were not for that, each one of us would be drug by our accuser before the judge of judges. I do know what is right. I do my best to do it. But my best falls short. Even on my best days.

Wednesday’s reading for Luke 13:1-5
13 About this time Jesus was informed
that Pilate had murdered some people from Galilee as they were offering
sacrifices at the Temple. 2 “Do you think those Galileans were
worse sinners than all the other people from Galilee?” Jesus asked. “Is that
why they suffered? 3 Not at all! And you will perish, too,
unless you repent of your sins and turn to God. 4 And what
about the eighteen people who died when the tower in Siloam fell on them? Were
they the worst sinners in Jerusalem? 5 No, and I tell you again
that unless you repent, you will perish, too.”
