Key Verse: “If a man is feeding in a field or in a vineyard, and he releases the beast to eat in another's field, he shall make restitution with the best of his field and the best of his vineyard” (Exodus 22:5 ).
Word: Last July, there was a ‘mileage scandal’ in Germany. A high-ranking public official in the German capital, Berlin, personally used the mileage earned by flying on an official plane, which Bildzi revealed. In Germany, this was a problem because the civil service ethics regulations state that mileage earned for official duties cannot be used by individuals. The official has resigned.
After this report, our news dealt with the mileage issue of Korean government officials. In our case, there is no specific provision for this in the Code of Ethics for Public Officials. It was reported that the mileage obtained for official duties is also usually used by individuals, which is our reality.
The human psyche is very strange and cruel. They value and cherish their own things, but they spend a lot of time on public things and even take them if they don't have an eye to see them. Even though it is ethically unacceptable, he easily commits hot days during the day, saying that there is no problem “legally”.
What if, while you were feeding your own animals, you let the animals loose for a little while in the field of another house where the grass grew luxuriantly? Does anyone have a heart like this? “No one will see. I just have to lie down as if I was taking a nap, and if someone saw me and said something, I would quickly pull out the animal as if waking up in a hurry. What do you think his cow has already eaten? Would you tell me to vomit? Are you going to tell me to make amends for what I ate so far?”
no! God tells us to make amends. It is also the best thing in his field. This is a question of human integrity. It is likewise a matter of integrity when we set fires to our banks and neglect our attention to damage the crops of other households. If it was grain in his field, he would set a fire on the rice paddy field and watch it carefully in case it catches fire. I don't know if I didn't take it, but once I've been in charge of someone else's thing, I have to do my best to manage it faithfully and return it. If it was his own, wouldn't he have taken good care of it so that he wouldn't lose it? There is only one thing to think about in a relationship between people. It's about changing your situation and thinking.
Prayer: Lord, help me to be trained to think and stand in the shoes of others. I pray in Jesus name. Amen.
