who or what is good for you,the world seems confused as to what is good and acceptable , what is bad and diplorable. But God puts it like this:
“Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; Who put darkness for light, and light for darkness; Who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes, And prudent in their own sight! Woe to men mighty at drinking wine, Woe to men valiant for mixing intoxicating drink, Who justify the wicked for a bribe, And take away justice from the righteous man! Therefore, as the fire devours the stubble, And the flame consumes the chaff, So their root will be as rottenness, And their blossom will ascend like dust; Because they have rejected the law of the Lord of hosts, And despised the word of the Holy One of Israel”. {Isaiah 5:20-24 }.
A good name is to be chosen rather than great riches, Loving favor rather than silver and gold. The rich and the poor have this in common, The Lord is the maker of them all.{ Proverbs 22:1-2}
“Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven”.
{Matthew 5:16}
REMEMBER:
A good name is better than precious ointment, And the day of death than the day of one’s birth;{Ecclesiastes 7:1}
Therefore,Always Choose to do GOOD for the Glory of God even at the Sacrifice of Self.
+God’s Goodness is incomparable to man’s goodness and the so called goodness of the world.
But love your enemies, do good, and lend, hoping for nothing in return; and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High. For He is kind to the unthankful and evil.
{Luke 6:35 }
1Th 5:15
See that none render evil for evil unto any man; but ever follow that which is GOOD, both among yourselves, and to all men.
Romans 12:21
Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with GOOD.
1Peter 2:15
For so is the will of God, that with well doing you may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men.
Ruth 2:12
The LORD recompense your work, and a full reward be given you of the LORD God of Israel, under whose wings you are come to trust.
Righteous folks always love to do good.
LISTEN:
” Blessings are on the head of the righteous, But violence covers the mouth of the wicked. The memory of the righteous is blessed, But the name of the wicked will rot. He who walks with integrity walks securely, But he who perverts his ways will become known. He who winks with the eye causes trouble, But a prating fool will fall. The mouth of the righteous is a well of life, But violence covers the mouth of the wicked. Hatred stirs up strife, But love covers all sins.
[Proverbs 10:6-7, 9-12 ]
He who justifies the wicked, and he who condemns the just, Both of them alike are an abomination to the Lord . He who loves transgression loves strife, And he who exalts his gate seeks destruction. He who has a deceitful heart finds no good, And he who has a perverse tongue falls into evil. He who begets a scoffer does so to his sorrow, And the father of a fool has no joy. A wicked man accepts a bribe behind the back To pervert the ways of justice. Wisdom is in the sight of him who has understanding, But the eyes of a fool are on the ends of the earth. A foolish son is a grief to his father, And bitterness to her who bore him. Also, to punish the righteous is not good, Nor to strike princes for their uprightness. He who has knowledge spares his words, And a man of understanding is of a calm spirit. Even a fool is counted wise when he holds his peace; When he shuts his lips, he is considered perceptive. {Proverbs 17:15, 19-21, 23-28 }
