Do What Is Right
“This is what the Lord says: ‘Maintain justice and do what is right, for my salvation is close at hand and my righteousness will soon be revealed.” – Isaiah 56:1
In the book, “The Human Mind”, Psychiatrist Karl Menninger argued that psychiatry was a science; and that the mentally ill were only slightly different from healthy individuals.
Dr. Menninger once gave a lecture on medical health and answered questions from the audience. Someone asked, “What would you advise a person to do if that person felt a nervous breakdown coming on?” Most people thought he would say “Go see a psychiatrist immediately,” but he didn’t. To their astonishment, Dr. Menninger replied, “Lock up your house, go across the railroad tracks, find somebody in need, and help that person.”
Dr. Menniger had a firm grasp on the fact that helping others is, oftentimes, the best way to help oneself.
Helping others brings glory to our Heavenly Father.

“Learn to do right; seek justice. Defend the oppressed. Take up the cause of the fatherless; plead the case of the widow.” Isaiah 1:17
