Always do right. This will gratify some people and astonish the others. -Twain
Romans 12:17, Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men.
If you have been watching any of the news lately, it doesn’t take long before your blood gets to boiling. No matter what side of the spectrum you might be on politically, it doesn’t take you long to find something to nitpick the other side about. It is really disheartening to think we can be so divided in a country that not so long ago stood together fighting for the very freedoms we hold dear. It makes it really hard to do the right thing when so many are going against what is Biblically right.
I am reminded this morning of the simple acronym for the word joy; Jesus, Others, and Yourself. Keep Jesus at the forefront of your life; seeking to honor and glorify Him in all you do. Place others before yourself; following the Lord’s command- Galatians 5:13, Enjoy life as you seek to keep Jesus first, others second and yourself last. Even when it’s hard, you must stand above the crowd and do the right thing bringing honor and glory to your Heavenly Father!
