Category: Doing The Right Thing

Psalm 103:17-18 (NKJV) 17 But the mercy of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting On those who fear Him, And His righteousness to children’s children, 18 To such as keep His covenant, And to those who remember His commandments to do them.

There is something that I find troubling in today’s society; where is the fear of God?

We need to make sure we are not getting desensitized to the world. And only we can tell if we are or not.

If I tell someone I’m a Christian, but I still act like the world and fit right in, and if nothing that I see in the world seems to bother me, I’d better think again.

if we have been washed in the blood, of Jesus Christ, if we have been forgiven of our sins and made whole, seeing worldly behavior should bother us. It should frustrate us to no end.

Life is short compared to eternity. We need to make sure we are doing our best as believers/Christians to share the love of God and cause people to ask others, “who is that person?”.

Don’t be embarrassed to do the right thing in places where it might seem unusual. Fear God enough to make a statement and stand out!

What makes us do the right thing?

Knowing who we are and Who we belong to, and knowing that He is Almighty God, Alpha and Omega, our Heavenly Father who chose us first.

1 John 4:19 (NKJV) 19 We love Him because He first loved us.

He loves us. And we love Him back by keeping His covenant and walking in His Commandments.

We need to stop idolizing and worshipping things; money & status symbols, etc.

We need to stop gossiping and stop judging.

We need to stop pretending that we are living a fairy tale life. We live in a real hard place.

We need to stop being prideful and arrogant.

We need to stop watching and listening to filth.

We need to rise up, fear God and do what we know we are supposed to do; teach and train up those God brings around us by being an example! Amen.

Daniel 1:8 (NKJV) 8 But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king’s delicacies, nor with the wine which he drank; therefore he requested of the chief of the eunuchs that he might not defile himself.

Daniel was an outstanding young man of God.

He chose to do what was right in the eyes of God, even if something appeared on the surface to be acceptable.

Daniel served under a king from a foreign land whom God had chosen to defeat the Israeli people, leading many of them away into exile. And he did so with great integrity.

How could he do this? Because he understood the deeper spiritual things, including the fact that sometimes we need to look beyond what we see with the natural eye.

Daniel also understood the importance of keeping himself pure in God’s eyes. He did not want to defile himself.

So, when he was told by his overseer that he would be required to consume food and drinks that were not acceptable to him, he took the steps necessary to do what he could do to change that.

Daniel put himself at risk by even mentioning this. He was after all, a slave of sorts to the king, since he had been appointed to serve in the king’s palace.

But he took the risk and did what he knew in his heart was right. And God gave him favor.

Let each of us be like Daniel. Let’s do the thing that is right, even if it means taking risks and standing out from the crowd.

It may not always be easy, but when we do what pleases God, He will show us His favor.

And pleasing God is surely more important than pleasing man.

1 Kings 8:61 (NKJV) 61 Let your heart therefore be loyal to the Lord our God, to walk in His statutes and keep His commandments, as at this day.”

I feel so bad when I say or do something stupid, because most times I know better.

How many are with me today? You feel the conviction immediately and you think, “why did I go there, AGAIN?”.

You know, some days it’s so easy to hold back. But other days it’s not. And we just slip up. Boy, God must have some mercy on me.

Being loyal to God doesn’t mean we will be perfect. It would be nice if we could, but it’s impossible if we are flesh and bone.

The flesh is always out to get us. And if we allow it, it will.

Being loyal just simply means that we keep working at knowing the Lord our God and His righteous ways, and allowing Him to help us overcome that very thing that tries to pull on us at times. It means giving our hearts over completely to our Helper, the Holy Spirit.

It’s the Holy Spirit who will warn, correct and keep us from making those dumb mess ups at times.

1 Timothy 6:11 (NKJV) 11 But you, O man of God, flee these things and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, gentleness.

Loyalty to God means to pursue or go after what is righteous, and stick to it. Amen.

Jeremiah 23:24 (NKJV) 24 Can anyone hide himself in secret places, So I shall not see him?” says the Lord;“ Do I not fill heaven and earth?” says the Lord.

Remember this the next time we are doing something we shouldn’t be doing.

Or do we think maybe He doesn’t hear our voice speaking things we shouldn’t be saying?

It’s so important for us to understand that nothing gets by Him, period. That in itself should give us instant accountability, no matter where we are.

God is present. We need to take our steps and speak our words carefully. Amen.

Job 34:21 (NKJV) 21 “For His eyes are on the ways of man, And He sees all his steps.
