God calls us to act like Him. Paul in his letter to the Ephesians (EPH 4:32–5:8) today reminds us of this. Luke is his Gospel tells us that there is reward if do (LK 13:10-17). It is all summarized succinctly in the Psalm (PS 1:1-2, 3, 4 AND 6).
Paul tells us it is easier to act like God if we stay away from those that do not. He calls these people idolaters. They all have something else they are focused on besides God. Find those that are focused on God and make them your friends.
You can also expect people to be upset when you act this way. In the Gospel it is the leader of the synagogue. He is upset that Jesus cured the woman on the sabbath. You can expect your ways will draw negative attention. Do not change to please the world.
If you do as God asks you can expect to be rewarded.
When Jesus saw her, he called to her and said,
“Woman, you are set free of your infirmity.”
He laid his hands on her,
and she at once stood up straight and glorified God.
