This day in history from:

Paying for the Sins of the Few

We better get used to it. At least, I'm getting there because I have a lot of experience.

When I was in law school, we were paying for the sins of our teachers. And in a skewed-up world I was then, we hated our teachers for being absent or for giving us free cuts.

Why?

Because no matter how much or how little we cover the subject matter, the coverage of the test will still be the entire thing. And ultimately, no matter how much or how little our teachers prepared us, the coverage of the bar exams will still be the same.

So we just dug deep and filled in the gaps ourselves. In the end, we are all to blame and we pay for all our sins, not just of the few.

Don't worry, they'll get what's coming to them someday...

But that was law school and not real life.

Wait a minute! This likewise applies to life.

Our society is paying for the sins of the few. Look around you. Majority of the people are poor because of the greed of the few. A lot of broken homes and promises because of the lust of the few. A lot of hurt because of the pride of a few.

What can we do? Perhaps, dig down deep also and fill in the gaps ourselves...

Side Prayers

PRAYER FOR GENEROSITY
Lord Jesus,
Teach me to be generous,
Teach me to serve You as You deserve
To give and not to count the cost,
To fight and not to heed the wounds,
To toil and not to seek for rest,
To labor and not to ask for reward,
except that of knowing
That I do Your Holy Will. Amen

THE LAWYER'S PRAYER
May every word I speak be from Your Truth...
I ask come from Your Wisdom...
May every case I handle receive Your Guidance...
May every heart, every life I touch, feel Your Love.

THE JABEZ PRAYER
And Jabez called on the God of Israel saying,
"Oh, that You would bless me indeed,
and enlarge my territory,
that Your Hand be with me,
that You would keep me from evil,
that I may not cause pain."

So God granted him what he requested.
