An Idea Borrowed

Years ago on a radio program someone shared that they read a chapter in Proverbs every day. Since there are 31 chapters and the longest month has 31 days it allows you to read through Proverbs on a regular basis. I use it as the launch pad for my personal worship time and branch out from there. On this blog I will try to share some of the insights I have in the Word. I will try to organize them in the archive by reference.

Good

(Psa 125:4 KJV)  Do good, O LORD, unto those that be good, and to them that are upright in their hearts.

(Proverbs 10 also read)

When you read a verse like this, it should raise some questions in your mind.  Who are these “good” that are being talked about?  How can anyone be good?  A lot of people like to quote Paul, who is quoting David.  An example is,

(Psa 14:3 KJV)  They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy: there is none that doeth good, no, not one.
How can you have it both ways?  With a little thinking there are solutions.  Basically we are incapable on our own of being good.  With the help of the Holy Spirit, we can do good.  And we can also be good because of the cleansing and filling of the Holy Spirit.

So?  How are you going to live your life?  Are you going to continue denying the power of God and the desire He has for you?  Or are you going to reach out to Him and allow Him to empower you and live an upright and righteous existence?  The choice is yours.
