FAITH CAPSULE:<\/strong> Study the word to understand and know the importance of doing good to the glory of God.<\/p>\n

Proverbs 6 <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

God is good. His Spirit is good. (Psalm 143:10) Good is God\u2019s identity also it is the character of God. Jesus responded to a certain ruler calling Him God, \u201cWhy do you call Me good? No one is good but One, that is, God. (Luke 18:19)<\/em><\/strong> There is no good as God. It is the goodness of God that makes His endures for everlasting. (Psalm 118:1, 136:1)
\nThose who study the word will understand and know the importance of doing good to the glory of God. Also, it is man\u2019s knowledge and understanding of doing good that will be provoking the good hand of God upon man. Doing good is what is acceptable to God. Since the beginning of creation, it is what is good that God was looking for. The bible recorded, \u201cIn the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.\u00a0<\/sup>The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters. Then God said, \u201cLet there be light\u201d; and there was light.\u00a0<\/sup>And God saw the light, that it was good\u2026\u201d (Genesis 1:1-4)<\/em><\/strong> God\u2019s character is good. Good is what God looked for through His history creation.
\nThrough the scriptural verses, word of God repeatedly admonished us about the important of doing good,
\n\u201cBeloved, do not imitate what is evil, but what is good. He who does good is of God, but he who does evil has not seen God.\u201d (3John 1:11) \u201cAnd who is he who will harm you if you become followers of what is good?\u201d (1Peter 3:13)
\n\u201cBut do not forget to do good and to share, for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.\u201d (Hebrews 13:16) \u201cThis is a faithful saying, and these things I want you to affirm constantly, that those who have believed in God should be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable to men.\u201d (Titus 3:8) \u201cTruly God is good to Israel, to such as are pure in heart.\u201d (Psalm 73:1)
\n<\/em><\/strong>What is doing good before good God?
\nDoing good describes man as morally excellent; righteous; pious (having or showing a dutiful spirit of reverence for God) Doing good is what God like but hates evil the opposite of good. Knowing and understanding what God hates should make man to be obeying the word of God. Doing good is also to be staying away from what God hates. The book of Proverbs 6:16-19<\/em><\/strong> identified seven things the Lord God hates stating, \u201cThese six things the Lord hates, Yes, seven are an abomination to Him: A proud look, A lying tongue, Hands that shed innocent blood, A heart that devises wicked planes, Feet that are swift in running to evil, A false witness who speaks lies, and One who sows discord among brethren.\u201d<\/em><\/strong> Knowing what God hates should keep man to be doing good.<\/p>\n

Prayer for today:<\/strong> Ask God to impact you to only do good for His grace.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
