About the results produced from doing the right thing…
Psalm 111:8 They are steadfast for ever and ever, done in faithfulness and
uprightness. 9 He provided redemption for his people; he ordained his covenant
forever-- holy and awesome is his name. (NIV)
Doing the right thing before God has a beautiful and wonderful consequence.
What we give to the world and give to God’s work in the world when we do the
right thing is to help keep the world together. When we do the right thing we
help people keep hope alive for the future. When we do not do the right thing
before God in all we say, think, and do, then darkness comes into our life. When
darkness comes into our life that darkness can come into the life of others with
whom we connect each day. Living under the many pressures of life, it is easy to
wilt and turn selfish, greedy, angry, and vengeful. However, when we turn
selfish, greedy, angry, and vengeful, we reap a terrible reward for ourselves
and inflict hurt upon others. When we live under the many pressures of life and
we do the right thing, God is glorified. When we do the right thing, other
people get a chance to find God, other people live in peace, and other people
get a chance to experience love. We sometimes live our lives as if there is no
tomorrow. In truth, there is always a tomorrow. Our tomorrows may have many
pressures. However, when we love God with all our heart, all our soul, and all
our might, we can turn the times of many pressures into times of many blessings
for God. We can turn our times of many pressures into blessings for others,
which become blessings for ourselves.
