I hope you are doing well and are in the best of health. I am doing very
well and am thankful to the Lord for this day and for the many blessings
that He has bestowed upon this Ministry that is founded under His Name. I
have been thinking about the commitment and steadfast faith that each
believer must stand in and I felt the Lord leading me to write a message
to continually do the right thing no matter what everyone else is doing
because He sees the lives of the just and the unjust and will judge each
one accordingly. I hope this message on continually doing what is right
ministers to your heart and encourages you to stay steadfast in your faith
never wavering from doing what you know is right. To God belongs all the
Glory, Honor and Praise for His continued leading and direction.
There are many Bible believing Christians that feel discouraged in their
walk with the Lord because they see the lives of sinners that do not get
punished for their unrighteousness and seem to prosper in their life of
sin. What we as believers must understand is that God's grace and mercy
is unknowable and He wishes for none to perish, but for all to come to
repentance. His wish is for all sinners to repent, but has set a time
where His judgment will come that will be swift and accurate to give to
every person according to their life lived on the earth. (2 Peter 3:9)
We should never focus our lives on what everyone else is doing. We are to
travel the road that Jesus demands which is the path of righteousness that
leads to life everlasting. We read in Psalm 37:1-3 "Fret not thyself
because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of
iniquity. For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as
the green herb. Trust in the Lord and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the
land, and verily thou shalt be fed." We are to focus our life on doing
what is right in the sight of the Lord not worrying about what others are
doing, but standing steadfast in faith bringing Glory and Honor to His
Name. We are the children of the Most High God and will be rewarded for
living a life that is pleasing to Him. (Matthew 7:13-14) (1 Peter 5:8-9)
We must always keep in mind that when we stand before God Almighty on our
Judgment Day, we will not give an account of what Sarah, Mike and Joe did
with their lives, but you and I will give an answer of how we lived and
what we did for Christ as His ambassadors and representatives on the earth.
We are to be heavenly minded putting away the pettiness of what others are
doing and focus on the Lord Jesus Christ who is the centerpiece of our
existence. (Revelation 20:12) (2 Corinthians 5:20-21) (Romans 8:1-16)
Be encouraged to continually stand strong in your faith never wavering and
know that God sees your every effort and will reward you for every good
deed. The Bible declares in Psalm 37:34-36 "Wait on the Lord, and keep
His way, and He shall exalt thee to inherit the land: when the wicked are
cut off, thou shalt see it. I have seen the wicked in great power, and
spreading himself like a green bay tree. Yet he passed away, and, lo, he
was not: yea, I sought him, but he could not be found." The life of sin
and iniquity will bring destruction, but a life lived in righteousness will
bring glory and honor that will greatly outweigh and outlast any pleasures
of the flesh that people falsely believed in. (Eph. 6:10-14) (James 1:13-17)
Read and meditate on these scriptures:
Psalm 37:7-9 "Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for Him: fret not
thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who
bringeth wicked devices to pass. Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret
not thyself in any wise to do evil. For evildoers shall be cut off: but
those that wait upon the LORD, they shall inherit the earth."
Psalm 34:11-16 "Come, ye children, hearken unto me: I will teach you the
fear of the LORD. What man is he that desireth life, and loveth many days,
that he may see good? Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from
speaking guile. Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it.
The eyes of the LORD are upon the righteous, and His ears are open unto
their cry. The face of the LORD is against them that do evil, to cut off
the remembrance of them from the earth."
Psalm 37:16-20 "A little that a righteous man hath is better than the
riches of many wicked. For the arms of the wicked shall be broken: but the
LORD upholdeth the righteous. The LORD knoweth the days of the upright:
and their inheritance shall be for ever. They shall not be ashamed in the
evil time: and in the days of famine they shall be satisfied. But the
wicked shall perish, and the enemies of the LORD shall be as the fat of
lambs: they shall consume; into smoke shall they consume away."
Psalm 37:3-5 "Trust in the LORD, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the
land, and verily thou shalt be fed. Delight thyself also in the LORD; and
He shall give thee the desires of thine heart. Commit thy way unto the
LORD; trust also in Him; and He shall bring it to pass."
All of these scriptures can be found in the King James Version Bible.
