“THINKABOUTIT” THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

Monday; July 28, 2008

          Why do we do the right thing?  While that may sound like either a no-brainer or a trick question, there is a point that can be made by doing good deeds.  First, and most importantly, we do the right thing because it is the right thing to do.  As good people, making good decisions should be a driving force in our lives.   We do the right thing because we (and God) should expect nothing less from ourselves.

         Yet, in a broader sense, doing the right thing serves a secondary purpose through educating others about doing good.  When we make good choices, it teaches others how to make good decisions.  Whether it’s the person who might be the subject of our good deed or some innocent bystander watching what we do, when we make the right choice, we show the people around us what the good life looks like.

         Let’s do our best to do our best.  Not only will it honor God, it will also help those around us become better in their own lives.

          Think about it!  For the Madison Avenue Church of Christ; this is Charlie Wharton.
