Doing What is Right

Scripture: 2 Corinthians 8: [21] For we are taking pains to do what is right, not only in the eyes of the Lord but also in the eyes of men.

Observation: Why should I care to do things right in the eyes of men? I am here to be a representative for Christ. Paul won the hearts of men so he could preach the gospel, otherwise no one would have listened. I need to be like Christ doing what is right, loving and caring to draw people to Him. My actions should prove to others I belong to God.

Application: Whatever I do, God is always watching and so are other people. Stop trying to get the praise of others and focus on how my actions and speech so it honors God.

Prayer: Dear Lord only with you can I become this man you desire me to be. Apart from you I can do nothing. Guide me each moment and show me how to honor you.
