Tag: What the Bible says about doing the right thing

Bible Verse of The Day – 2-17-24

Galatians 6:7 (NKJV) 7 Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.

Sometimes we will face situations that will really test us and show us how weak or strong we are when it comes to sowing the right seeds at the right time.

Have you ever been accused of something, and you weren’t at fault? The seeds you sow during those situations are important.

They are seeds that are noticed, and we will reap from those seeds!

When everything in us says, “run from it, run far away”, but we stay and go the extra mile to do the right thing, we are sowing very good seeds that we will reap from.

It’s those hard situations, we need to take our time and get God’s wisdom and His understanding on how to turn things around.

When we obey His plan, we will sometimes experience a great feeling of accomplishment or victory. But that’s not what it’s about.

What’s better is knowing that when we sow these types of seeds, we are bringing glory and honor to the One who created us and saved us.

Reaping from those seeds in the natural is just a “fringe benefit” compared to that.

Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 6-25-22

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.

Bible Verse of The Day – 4-11-22

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.

Bible Verse of The Day – 4-6-21

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.

Bible Verse of The Day – 2-27-21

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.

God is Omnipresent; present everywhere at the same time.

Do we really think we can hide from Him? Do we think God cannot see us in situations that we know we should not be in?

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.

Bible Verse of The Day – 4-9-20

Proverbs 21:3 (NKJV) 3 To do righteousness and justice Is more acceptable to the Lord than sacrifice.

Some have left their friends, given up things that they loved to do, just to keep their walk with God moving forward and growing stronger.

Whatever we give up for Him, we will feel it. But it is always well worth it!

Over time, we will find ourselves walking away from things, and maybe even people, that may have meant a lot to us. But as we grew closer to God, we learned that those things may get in the way of our relationship with Him, and we may need to let them go.

Anything or anyone that influences us in a bad or negative way, we will have to choose between it and God. Whether it’s friends, food we eat or drink, places we spend time at, etc, we may need to make a choice at some point.

Sometimes, to stay on the right path and close to God, we have to choose the more excellent way, for our health, and for our relationship with Him.

Our closeness with Him will cost us, to keep choosing the more righteous thing.

Proverbs 21:21 (NKJV) 21 He who follows righteousness and mercy Finds life, righteousness, and honor.

Bible Verse of The Day – 6-18-19

1 Peter 3:17 (NKJV) 17 For it is better, if it is the will of God, to suffer for doing good than for doing evil.

If it is the will of God. This is a huge statement.

Many people suffer and it’s not the will of God. God is not in it nor near it. We are suffering because of things we have done or said. We are suffering because of wrong choices. We may even be suffering because of false prophecies or words that were spoken over us. Sometimes we suffer due to things other people have done to us.

This verse says, “if it is the will of God”. Sometimes, as hard as it is, we will suffer for things and it is because of the stance we take for our Lord Jesus Christ. It will be for doing good instead of indulging in the bad.

But, be encouraged today that God is saying, “it is better”! This means that we are doing good, following Him. And because of this, people may lash out at us in anger.

Maybe they are jealous or envious of us. Maybe they are spreading lies, etc. Whatever it may be, If we are doing good, we need to keep it up.

Don’t let this behavior taint us. Don’t let it cause us to turn back or back down because of the heat of it. Remember what God says. “It is better! “

What does better mean? It means more excellently or more effectively.

So let us continue to be BETTER. Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 1-25-18

2 Thessalonians 3:13 (NKJV) 13 But as for you, brethren, do not grow weary in doing good.

Some days it can feel like doing good is impossible.

We have been commanded by God to do right by everyone, to do all things as unto Him, and to love everyone we encounter.

Most times this isn’t a problem. But then there are those times when it feels like doing good is a huge fight.

This might be because we have been fought so hard. It might be because the person we are trying to do right by is mean and wicked in their ways. Or it might just be that we are tired… worn out from trying.

But God has told us not to grow weary in doing good. So how do we do that? How do we continually do good without reaching a point where we simply want to throw our hands up in the air and walk away?

There’s only one way. We need to make sure we’re doing things by the Spirit of God, not by our own natural strength.

Let’s face it; Our flesh is weak. It will only take us just so far before it wants to give up and sit down.

But God’s spirit is strong and mighty. So we need to let God teach us how to live and move by His spirit, not by our flesh or our emotions.

This takes time, but it will happen if we put forth the effort and have the desire for it. We need to draw near to God, and as we do so, He will strengthen our spirit.

Psalm 73:28 (NKJV) 28 But it is good for me to draw near to God; I have put my trust in the Lord GOD, That I may declare all Your works.

Bible Verse of The Day – 11-29-17

Galatians 6:7 (NKJV)7 Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.

It can be hard to do the right thing at times, even though that’s what we prefer to do.

There can be repercussions from doing right. We can surely “stir the pot”, so to speak, when we take a stand and choose to do what is right versus just giving in and letting things be the way others want them to be.

Making the right decision and sticking by it can rile things up or turn things upside down. It can be very interesting and eye-opening. We may see things in people that we may have never seen otherwise.

Whenever we do what is right, good comes out of it. How do we know this? Because if we sow good and right seeds we will reap good and right things.

When we take a stand to do what is right, we may find ourselves standing alone at times. It may feel a bit uncomfortable and cause us to want to just give in and change our minds.

But know this; we are never truly alone. We may not have the same people or friends around us, but God is right there and He will fill that empty feeling with good things.

Don’t let the wrong agendas manipulate us because we are afraid of losing something or someone. Do the right thing and good things will come from it.
