WHAT IS GOOD FOR YOU?

Nov13

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 }
Sometimes a set back in a very strange way becomes a set UP for new blessings and opportunities to come… For ever level there’s another devil….. You are supposed to give up, you are supposed to get weak and discouraged – but you can’t – are you listening YOU CANT QUIT!!! Power down, then power UP, hit that refresh button, and KEEP GOING!!!!!!!!! You will continue to GROW through what you GO through…..

LISTEN 
•Continue to let the WORD of God be the standard for your life. Always LOVING others like Christ Jesus loves us while keeping our faith, trust and confidence in Him.
•BLESSED you are and BLESSED you will always be and to God be all the GLORY. Amen!

BORN GOOD

Nov14

Therefore, to him who knows to do good and does not do it, to him it is sin.{James 4:17}

We were all created good, and to do good. Genesis 1:31 says,
“Then God saw everything that He had made, and indeed it was very good….”.
Most folks struggle to do good,because of evil.

REMEMBER
Do not be deceived: “Evil company corrupts good habits.” Awake to righteousness, and do not sin; for some do not have the knowledge of God. I speak this to your shame.[I Corinthians 15:33-34]. Eve hang out with the devil and was corrupted, as we see in Genesis 3:1-6,

Now the serpent was more cunning than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said to the woman, “Has God indeed said, ‘You shall not eat of every tree of the garden’?” And the woman said to the serpent, “We may eat the fruit of the trees of the garden; but of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God has said, ‘You shall not eat it, nor shall you touch it, lest you die.’ ” Then the serpent said to the woman, “You will not surely die. For God knows that in the day you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.” So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree desirable to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate. She also gave to her husband with her, and he ate.

However, we can’t blame anyone,for our actions,since everyone is now responsible for their own sins.
“Either make the tree good and its fruit good, or else make the tree bad and its fruit bad; for a tree is known by its fruit. Brood of vipers! How can you, being evil, speak good things? For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good things, and an evil man out of the evil treasure brings forth evil things. But I say to you that for every idle word men may speak, they will give account of it in the day of judgment.{Matthew 12:33-36}.

However, Romans 7: 10-25 explains why people struggle with doing good.
“And the commandment, which was to bring life, I found to bring death. For sin, taking occasion by the commandment, deceived me, and by it killed me. Therefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy and just and good. Has then what is good become death to me? Certainly not! But sin, that it might appear sin, was producing death in me through what is good, so that sin through the commandment might become exceedingly sinful. For we know that the law is spiritual, but I am carnal, sold under sin. For what I am doing, I do not understand. For what I will to do, that I do not practice; but what I hate, that I do. If, then, I do what I will not to do, I agree with the law that it is good. But now, it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells in me. For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh) nothing good dwells; for to will is present with me, but how to perform what is good I do not find. For the good that I will to do, I do not do; but the evil I will not to do, that I practice. Now if I do what I will not to do, it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells in me. I find then a law, that evil is present with me, the one who wills to do good. For I delight in the law of God according to the inward man. But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members. O wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from this body of death? I thank God—through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, with the mind I myself serve the law of God, but with the flesh the law of sin”.

However,all is not lost, to do good,you have to allow God to restore you as Psalms 23:3 &6 says
He restores my soul; He leads me in the paths of righteousness For His name’s sake. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me All the days of my life; And I will dwell in the house of the Lord Forever.

For the time has come for judgment to begin at the house of God; and if it begins with us first, what will be the end of those who do not obey the gospel of God? Now “If the righteous one is scarcely saved, Where will the ungodly and the sinner appear?” Therefore let those who suffer according to the will of God commit their souls to Him in doing good, as to a faithful Creator.
[I Peter 4:17-19 ]

For this is the will of God, that by doing good you may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men—{I Peter 2:15}
