Doing Good deeds
Matthew 6:1 Take heed that you do not your alms before men, to be seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven.
When we do good deeds it should be because we want to, because it makes us feel good to help someone. We shouldn't do it to gain recognition before man. God wants us to give freely and spontaneously and not to worry about if anyone sees what we do. our reward will be in heaven not here on this earth. God sees what we do we don't need the approval of man. As Christians we are to give, not in order to receive a reward, but to show our love for God. Lets make sure the next time we are giving that we are doing it for the right reasons and with the right attitude!
My God is always there!
I don't just believe in a God, I believe in a God that is always there! proverbs 15:3 The eyes of the Lord are in every place, beholding the evil and the good.
God sees everything we do, Hears everything we say. Nothing escapes his watchful eyes. He is everywhere. He sees the good and the bad. He compassionately watches the good and he is always there to lend aid when necessary. How wonderful it is to know that I serve a God who is in every place!
God is on our side
If God is on our side, who can be against us? Psalms 118:6 The lord is on my sid; I will not fear: what can man do unto me? We don't have to be afraid of what man can do to us as long as we have God on our side. He will stand shoulder to shoulder with us. we have no need to fear what man can do to us. It's a great feeling knowing God is on our side. All of his might and power are with us against our enimies!
to be content
I timothy 6:6 But godliness with contentment is great gain. God wants us to be content with the things we have, but it seems like that is the hardest thing for some people. There is always something we have to have that we think is going to make life better something that will make us happier. Only God can bring us true contentment and happiness. Look around at what you have and be content with it. stop wanting so much more. Contentment with Godliness brings great pleasure and harmony.
