FAITH CAPSULE: Do not ignore doing good because it counts before God.
Jeremiah 17
As a believer, are you having good work turned down?
One doing good should not have a reason to stop doing good regardless of being turned down.
Word of God cautions, “Therefore, to him who knows to do good and does not do it, to him it is sin.” (James 14:17)
Keep in mind that God counts doing good.
It counts to do right before God.
Before God, every choice of action with weight counts.
God watches to weigh actions that count. 1 Samuel 2:3 states, “…For the
Lord is the God of knowledge; And by Him, actions are weighed.”
Does your action carry weight before God?
One doing good before God is an action that carries weight and counts before God.
Unlike a good Samaritan, a priest had a chance to do good but walked away.
Luke 10:31 states, “Now by chance, a certain priest came down that road. And when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.”
Do not ignore to do good.
All have a chance and should do good before God.
Ask to live life doing good always.
Every good deed that is true and genuine before God will not count down before God.
To be doing good before God makes the difference.
Proverbs 13:21 buttresses, “Evil pursues sinners, but to the righteous, good shall be repaid.”
Payday for doing good will come to pass.
God meant what He said, and He will make His promise to those who do according to His word.
Why not stick to His word in the pages of the scripture?
The word of God is promising and encouraging to those who will take to it. It can never be too late to reap the fruitfulness of doing good.
Be encouraged if you have been doing good in dealing with a wicked and desperate world.
It is important to note that “The heart is deceitful above all things And desperately wicked; Who can know it? I, the LORD, search the heart, I test the mind, Even to give every man according to his ways, According to the fruit of his doings.”( Jeremiah 17:9-10)
One doing good should be encouraged because all doing good counts before God.
Jeremiah 32:19 records, “You are great in counsel and mighty in work, for Your eyes are open to all the ways of the sons of men, to give everyone according to his ways and according to the fruit of his doings.”
He that gives eyes and ears does have eyes to see and ears to hear. Doing good is giving glory to God.
Let nothing derail anyone from doing good to the glory of God.
Gain the understanding that all shall reap according to the fruit of doings. Be encouraged and not be discouraged not to do good.
Prayer for today: Ask God to give eyes to all your good doing before Him.
