Measure of a Man

Measure of a Man

I love God's version of Law and Order. . .

the version where everyone is equal. . .

everyone is held accountable to the same laws. . .

no one gets special privileges because they are rich,

or beautiful, or popular, or because of who they know. . .

Isn't that an amazing concept?

In God's version of Law and Order. . .

we are each judged according to a set of rules that are indisputable. . .

no lawyer gets to discuss the meaning of is. . .God's law is. . .

I often read writings by Rabbi Daniel Lapin. . .

sometimes it just helps me make sense of the way things

are written in the Bible. . .

I specifically loved an article he wrote recently,

concerning the measure of a man . . .

I found it fascinating to think about God's instructions. . .

you are to use a just measure. . .

you don't get to use one measure for yourself,

and another measure for someone else. . .

no matter if you are rich or poor, fat or skinny, beautiful or homely. . .

you must measure equally. . .

I must remind myself of this concept often . . .

my human nature is sometimes quick to criticize . . .

but I am learning. . .

I only wish I could have learned these life lessons sooner. . .
