Doing what is right
is doing what is right before God. There
are things which seem right to man that are not right with God. God's Word is always our standard for what is
right. We cannot be or do what is right
before God without it being based on the Word of God.
It's a heart
issue. Those who do what is right do it
because they know that it is God's way.
They know that what pleases God is what matters. They dwell in the light because they know
that God is light. It is in the presence
of God that we discover what we need to do in order to please Him.
Those who do what is
right before God do it so that others can see that what they are doing is what
God wants. The goal is always to bring
honor and glory to God. The desire is
for God to be seen in us and not ourselves to be seen before man. This is perhaps one of the biggest battles
most face today. So much attention is
placed on the individual. So much stress
is placed on being noticed as a measure of one's success and acceptance.
In order to be and do what is right with
God, we must remain humble before Him.
We must spend time in His Word and on our knees in prayer. We must keep constant vigilance over our
souls. Our greatest need is to always
seek to let God be seen in and through us.
It should always be our goal to bring God honor and glory and not
ourselves. We should always strive to
live in such a way that the Lord is seen in a positive light, that others would
be attracted to Him because of how we reflect Him.
Do what is right before God gladly so
others will see that what you are doing is what you enjoy doing and what God
wants you to do. Our attitude says a lot
about what we really think about our life in the Lord.
