Good Samaritan

Does the right thing without rationalizing. There are no expressions of doubt or reservation: "It's a stray. It could have rabies. It’s sure to be loaded with fleas. Probably not house-broken. It's someone else's problem. I'm not an animal shelter. God's problem..."

Instead there’s empathy and acceptance of a savior’s mantle: "Looks like you need some help. We'll see what can be done for you. Have you had anything to eat or drink today?..."

Remarkable but not uncommon. People do it unquestioning all the time for needy animals. 

There are a lot of fellow human beings like that dog though who are left on the side of the road. We're never really equipped or competent to deal with the problem adequately. That provides plenty of room for rationalization, and escape. "It's God's problem. He has resources. I don't."

BUT, sometimes conscience won't let us escape realization that we ARE God’s resources, and that He is choosing to employ us to deal with "His problems".

We cannot run from or escape the irresistible  call we’ve been given to undertake our appointed assignment; no matter our distaste or feelings of inadequacy at being pressed into service.
