Deeds
23 Sing to the Lord, all the earth;
proclaim his salvation day after day.
24 Declare his glory among the nations,
his marvelous deeds among all peoples.
25 For great is the Lord and most worthy of praise;
he is to be feared above all gods.
26 For all the gods of the nations are idols,
but the Lord made the heavens.
27 Splendor and majesty are before him;
strength and joy are in his dwelling place. 1 Chronicles 16:23-27
How do you practice good deeds? Is is something you specifically plan out each day saying I am going to do this and do that and then my good deeds are done for the day. Or, do you think, I am going to do one good deed today and they world gets in the way and when you are in bed you think, man I just forgot to do something good today. Or, do you do the right thing and practice good deeds as a part of your normal daily routine? There is nothing wrong with reminding yourself you need to perform good deeds, but they need to come from the heart and not done to just a check box. Maybe a good start is to recognize the deeds that God performs for us daily and do we ever thank Him for His deeds? If we start with praising God and His deeds, then it is a whole lot easier to perform good deeds for others not for ourselves, but to honor Him. Just remember not to get caught up in the "I must do my good deed" to mark it off my list, but perform your good deeds that should come from your heart and show others the love of Christ.
Have a great weekend.
Matt
