How Far Will I Go To Do 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: Since I’ve been born again I strive to do what is right in God’s eyes. So often however I fail and come up short, but I know when I do. How often do I do what is right in the eyes of men? My actions are my testimony of my Lord to others. If they’re righteous they will draw others near to Him, but if not then I’m a hypocrite and my words mean nothing.

Application: I need to take great pains to do what is right and honoring to God and show others that I belong to Him and how He has changed my heart. I need to be the man that others can look to and not find fault and may see glimpses of Jesus in my character.

Prayer: Dear Lord guide your servant. There is no good in me unless you place it there. Show me how to be a light in this world to direct others to you.
