Looking Good, or Doing Good? Saturday, 19 July2014 ...Jesus...went about doing good... Acts 10:38 NKJV The Bible says, God anointed Jesus...with the Holy Spirit and with power, Who went about doing good... When youre led by Gods Spirit, your focus wont be on looking good, but on doing good. You say, But Im so busy! Nobody was busier than Jesus, yet He always responded to those in need. In Luke chapter 10 He tells of a Jewish traveller who was attacked by a gang and left to die by the road. First a Levite, then a priest passed by. But each had important appointments to keep, so they didnt stop. Then a Samaritan came along. Now, he had every reason to look the other way, because the Jews and the Samaritans were long-standing enemies. Instead, ...He...came where he was. And when he saw him, he had compassion. (Luke 10:33 NKJV) Compassion will make you stop and rearrange your priorities. This Samaritan realised that where he was at that moment was more important than his next appointment. What would you have done that day? Do you think youd have acted like him? How about when God tries to interrupt your inflexible, tightly-organised, written-in-concrete schedule and asks you to make time for someone whos hurting? Are you willing to forgo your plans and do what He wants? If youre too busy to reach out to those who are hurting, youre too busy! You say, But Im shy around people. Then start with the people you know in your local church. Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all, especially to those who are of the household of faith. (Galatians 6:10 NKJV) Dont forget! Compassion will make you rearrange your priorities. Remember! You can live up in a down World. SoulFood: 2 Sam 17:14-19:43, Lk 7:11-23, Ps 123, Prov 18:13-16 This is your morning dew. You will succeed.
