Do something good today

Alright, we have had this discussion before in a lot of different ways. There are those who like to tell you one thing and, then, do another. You know, the old, "Do as I say, not as I do." But, it can't be that way. What we do when no one else is looking is what we really are. Hey, I know, it is a tough reality.

But, we have all seen the others who claim that they are this or that they are that but their actions tell otherwise. Someone might claim to be one thing but, when they think no one is looking, they are something entirely different.The truth is, we should reflect, resemble, remind people of what we claim to be.

Today's word is James 3:13, NLT, which reads, "If you are wise and understand GOD'S ways, prove it by living an honorable life, doing good works with the humility that comes from wisdom."

There is so much in this one verse. First, "if you are wise". We all want to be wise. We all want to make good decisions and to be known and trusted as someone who makes good decisions. Then, if we are wise and "understand GOD'S ways". Now, I'll never claim to be very smart or very wise. However, I can tell you that knowing GOD'S ways is not a difficult thing to learn - read the Bible, seek His will, do what He tells you to do.

Then, if we are wise and know GOD'S ways, we should "prove it by living an honorable life." We should reflect GOD'S character; others should know to Whom we belong. And, they will know that we belong to Him because of what we DO. We don't just say it - we DO His good will. And, we don't brag about it. I don't know about you but I am humbled that GOD could use someone like me, PERIOD. I am grateful that He finds a way for me to do His work. Do something good today.

Be Blessed,
