Reflections On The Scripture: There's an undeniable truth found in Joshua 22:31, which declares that the presence of the Lord is more fully perceived not only when we obey His commands, but when we act on those commands for the benefit of others. Phinehas, the priest, saw clear evidence of God's presence amongst the children of Reuben, Gad, and Manasseh not just because they did what was right, but because their actions also delivered their fellow Israelites. This message is an important reminder that we live our faith outwardly, impacting the world around us in a positive manner through our actions. This is more than simply refraining from doing wrong; it’s about proactively doing good fo others, and in doing so, we make the presence of the Lord perceivable among us. Pave the way for others to perceive HIS presence in your life through your service to them. Therein lies the sweet intersection of faith and action, where we live out the Lord's commands as a beacon of His love and grace.
