Good morning! How are we faithing? Something to keep in mind is doing good things. Do we do them for accolades? Nope. Do we do them for received honors? No sir. Do we do good so everyone sees them? No ma'am. We do good things because it's the right thing to do. We do things as if everything is for Jesus because it is. Everything done in secret is seen by God. We didn't get away with anything just because no one knows about it. We also need to stay focused remembering that our lives are reflections of God. Do we spew bad thoughts all around? What purpose does that serve? We need to pray and work on doing right and good things as a course of constant behavior. Having trouble with some things? Take it to God, repent and fight the urge with help from the master. Don't give any reason for any bad reports to surface about you and when a true one does comes up, repent and don't repeat it. Remember this;
1 Peter 3:13-16Who is going to harm you if you are eager to do good? But even if you should suffer for what is right, you are blessed. "Do not fear what they fear; do not be frightened." But in your hearts set apart Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect, keeping a clear conscience, so that those who speak maliciously against your good behavior in Christ may be ashamed of their slander. NIV
Heavenly Father,
Thank you for your Word that teaches us how to act. Lord help us keep a healthy attitude and outlook on everything. Help us be wise and strong to make choices that edify you. Lord help us not react to slander and junk that flies at us. We want to be holy and need your help and your peace. Lord help us seek you and move forward and not dwell on the past. in Jesus name, amen
