4-26-12. . . .DO GOOD!
“Do not withhold good from those who deserve it, when it is in your power to act.” (Prov 3:27 NIV) What a thought provoking verse of scripture. Would we ever really consider withholding good from anyone, let alone those that deserve it? To do so, especially when it is in our power to act would absolutely be out of character for a believer. In fact, one would set themselves up for a boomerang effect. What we send out will return to us. Certainly, we expect good from others and even more so from God. The consequences for doing otherwise is unacceptable. “Do good, O LORD, to those who are good, to those who are upright in heart. But those who turn to crooked ways the LORD will banish with the evildoers.” (Ps 125:4-5 NIV) Today, seek out as many people as you can and do good to them. It does not have to be something big. Perhaps a genuine warm smile. . . .a timely kind word. . . .taking a little extra work for yourself to lighten a co-workers load. They will receive good and you will feel good!
Prayer: Lord, you are good and you do good! Help me to do good always especially when it is in my power to do so. Holy Spirit, direct me today to opportunities of doing good to others. Amen!
Heb 13:16. . . . And do not forget to do good and to share with others, for with such sacrifices God is pleased. NIV
