For
God
Called
You
To Do Good
Scripture
1
Peter 2
21 For
God called you to do good, even if it means suffering, just as Christ
suffered for you. He is your example, and you must follow in his
steps.
Observation
It
is so easy for us to see what other people should be doing … isn't
it? At least it is for me!
This
week Eddy needs to focus on what Eddy should be doing and not worry
about what everybody else isn't doing, or at least isn't doing what
Eddy thinks they should be doing!
You
and I have a calling – we have been called to do good works, good
deeds, good stuff!
Blaming
others is something that goes back all the way to Adam, and Eve …
it didn't work for them and it won't help us one bit either.
In
your work place do something extra this week … make a difference …
go the second mile for your employer and your fellow employees! If
they notice, okay, if they don't that's okay too – just do
something good!
If we volunteer
somewhere … lets do it with all of our heart … lets invest extra
time and energy this week in what God has called us to do!
Lets look around
and find someone that we can help … someone we can encourage! Lets
do some good this week. Lets just do the next right thing!
Luke
6:27
“But
to you who are willing to listen, I say, love your
enemies! Do good to
those who hate you.
Proverbs
3:27
Do not
withhold good from
those who deserve it when it’s in your power to help them.
Micah
6:8
No,
O people, the Lord has
told you what is good, and this is what he requires of you:
to do what
is right, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God.
Romans
12:21
Don’t
let evil conquer you, but conquer evil by doing good.
1
Corinthians 10:24
Don’t
be concerned for your own good but for the good of
others.
Galatians
6:9-10
So let’s not
get tired of doing what is good. At just the right time we will reap
a harvest of blessing if we don’t give up. Therefore,
whenever we have the opportunity, we should do good to
everyone—especially to those in the family of faith.
Application
I
will look for ways to do good this week. … How about you?
Prayer
Heavenly
Father, I look forward to this new week. Help me keep my focus on You
and what You want me to do with my time. Show me who needs to be
encouraged. Show me what I can do that will make a difference in
someone's life this week. Don't let me make excuses. Don't let me be
a slacker this week. Don't let me blame or criticize anyone … help
me to keep my focus on what You have called me to do. And give me the
strength and the energy that I need, to do what You ask me to do.
