"Do the right thing" So easy to say, much harder to do. We wonder, "What is the right thing?" How do we know the right thing to do? We look to God's Word. His Word is Truth, so He certainly won't steer us wrong. Use His guidelines to find the right thing in your life. They are there and with prayer and meditation on the Scripture, you will find them.
Sometimes it is hard to find the specific "right thing". We may not see a clear answer to our question, but by ruling out everything that is the "wrong thing" we have shortened our list by quite a bit. It can be hard at times to rule out the wrong things. Society tells us that some things are legal and okay, but we know they are the wrong choices. Our sinful selves tell us that we should just choose what makes us happy,(After all, God wants us to be happy) but because we know the truth, we know that isn't the standard we use for choices. It can be hard to find the right thing, but if we are honest, we can pretty easily rule out the wrong things.
Choosing the right thing is not easy. It is not popular. It is not the world's way. It will make you stand out. It will make you seem odd. It will bring ridicule and attacks. It almost doesn't seem worth the effort, but it is. Choosing the right thing will make you wiser. It will make you more dependent on God. It will make you pray more, weep more, love more, grow more. It will keep you on the path that God has intended for your life. It will bring you blessings that you never even imagined. Choose the right thing and do it. A great rule for life.
