Today’s Scripture: Romans 2:7 NLT:He will give eternal life to those who keep on doing good, seeking after the glory and honor and immortality that God offers.
God offers us glory, honor and eternal life for doing good. There was a time when WWJD (What Would Jesus Do) slogans were everywhere. You may still have the t-shirt, bumper sticker or bracelet today.
When we sincerely ask what Jesus would do of ourselves, NOT to judge others, I believe we find that answer emerging from within us and not from our heads. Try it now if you will. Consider your greatest current challenge and ask what would Jesus do? Where do you sense the answer?
In Romans 2:15we are assured that God’s law is written on our hearts and that our conscience and thoughts will let us know if we are doing right. When we search the Holy Spirit within us, we truly do know what is good and we can do it. We don’t need the t-shirt we only need to live from His goodness in our hearts today.
Will you keep on doing good?
Today’s Prayer:Father God, thank You for writing Your laws upon my heart. Thank You for Your Holy Spirit. Open my heart to know and show Your goodness to those You place in my path or in my spirit. I will seek You and Your honor today. I know in Christ Jesus You will judge my secret places and I ask you to continue to shape my heart as only You would have it. Your praise is all I seek. Amen
