Going Too Far

Deuteronomy 25-27 Going Too FarToday's Focus: Deuteronomy 25:2-3This is a reminder that as human beings we often take things too far to the hurt of others and even ourselves. This scripture reminds us the value of correction. The method may not be likeable, but it is necessary for us to be corrected when we do things that are wicked, against the law, or just in disobedience to our parents as children. Sometimes, when we are in a position of authority like policemen, parents, bosses, or even teachers, we can go too far: beyond the call of our authority. When we do this, we risk hurting others and being seen as foolish.
