Doing Good.

Psalm 73:28 But it is good for me to draw near to God: I have put my trust in the Lord God, that I may declare all thy works.

“If you know what is good for you”… The world is full of good things and bad things. We are told what foods are good for us to eat, and what foods are not good for us, or bad for us. There are good places to go, and there are bad places to go. It is good when we treat others with love, respect and kindness, it is bad when we gossip and speak ill of others, and treat them harshly. It is good to come into the presence of God and bask in His presences. It is good to wholly depend on God for the things we need. Doing what is good brings pleasure to the heart of God. He delights in those who desire to do good. Good things come from God, from the Father of light, bad things come from Satan, the father of liars. Daily we make choices to do good or to do bad. Making the choice to draw near to God will help us to make other choices that will also be good. We do not earn our way to heaven, but doing good things, but those who draw near to God will manifest a life of good deeds.
