Your goodness is a treasure


 


"And who is he who will harm you if you are eager to do good? 1 Peter 3:13" 


When you live a righteous life, and you always do good to people, you will always be close to God because our acts of sin and evil are the ones that separate us from God. Once a person is separated from God, His glory and protection are also removed from him, and he becomes vulnerable to the attacks of the enemy. 


When you do good to others, be sure and confident that God is watching over you and protects you from all attacks. Because you are doing what he commanded you to do. The Pharisees asked Jesus and said; 


"“Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?” Jesus replied: “ ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”"  

So when you love and do good to people, you are fulfilling God's commandment. 


God, through His word, tells you to be eager to do good; Isaiah 1:16-17 says, "Wash and make yourselves clean. Take your evil deeds out of my sight; stop doing wrong. Learn to do right; seek justice. Defend the oppressed. Take up the cause of the fatherless; plead the case of the widow." 


So, if you live a righteous life and do good, God is telling you today not to be afraid. He is with you to protect and save you from all harm. Even in your workplace, if you face threats for doing the right and just thing, do not be afraid; God will protect you. In your family and community, do not be afraid to stand up for justice and help others because you fear attacks from wicked people. The word says, "And who is he who will harm you if you are eager to do good?" 


The last thing, Your goodness is a treasure. When you do good, you can not end up in shame and destruction, God will establish and protect you. The good deeds you do to people is a seed. You are planting a seed of blessing in your life, and this seed will benefit you and your descendants. Even if attacks and harm come your way, because of the good you have done, God will come to save and free you. 


Prayer: Oh, LORD, help me live a life of doing good so that I and my descendants may be blessed. Amen

THE WISEST THING TO DO IN YOUR LIFE

  Daniel 12:3 (GNT) says, “The wise leaders will shine with all the brightness of the sky. And those who have taught many people to do what is right will shine like the stars forever.” This verse speaks about the reward God will give His faithful people on the last day. Those who live with wisdom and lead others to righteousness will shine like stars in the sky—forever. What a powerful promise! Today, I want to teach you how to be wise so you can receive this reward. The Bible says in James 1:5 (NKJV), “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God...”  This means wisdom comes from God, and He is willing to give it to anyone who asks. When you receive God’s wisdom, you will learn how to live the right way and make decisions that please Him. You will also have the power to guide others. The wisest thing you can ever do in life is to preach the Gospel—to help people turn away from sin and accept Jesus Christ. That is the kind of wisdom that brings eternal rewards. Also, if you ...

DO NOT COMPARE YOURSELF TO OTHERS

  "I know what it is to be poor or to have plenty, and I have lived under all kinds of conditions. I know what it means to be full or to be hungry, to have too much or too little. Philippians 4:12 CEV" God’s purpose for humankind is for everyone to succeed, but each person has their own season. Just as each flower blooms in its own time, each of us has a time set by God. When that season comes, God will make you prosper. Until then, keep praying and working hard, trusting in His timing. When you look at your peers, former classmates, family members, or others in your age group and see their success, it’s easy to start comparing. Maybe a friend just built a new house or got a high-paying job, or perhaps someone you know is getting married. If you feel like you’ve achieved more, you may feel good about yourself. But if you feel like you’re still “behind,” it’s easy to feel discouraged and inadequate. This is where your perspective can become distorted. Some people think they ar...
