That is written on the refuse bags we take every Wednesday to the kerbside of our street. We are doing the right thing by separating recyclables from the refuse bag.
In the Free Weekly COFFEE NEWS I am reading,
“ALWAYS DO RIGHT. THIS WILL GRATIFY SOME PEOPLE AND ASTONISH THE REST.” (Vol 119:3)
Come, let us gratify some people and let us astonish the rest!
The Bible, the Word of the Living God, admonishes us also to think about what is right. Have you heard about the royal law? You find the royal law in the Scriptures. The royal law says:
“Love your neighbour as yourself.”
The Bible says if we really keep that law we are doing right.
In the Word of God those who are doing right are also encouraged to continue to do right. Children are told that they are doing the right thing by obeying their parents. The Bible says also that everyone who does right is a true follower of the Lord Jesus Christ. Everyone who does right is born again.
The “Book of books” commands us also to be careful to do what is right. And that in the eyes of everybody. We get tired at times. But listen to what Paul is writing to the Thessalonian brothers: “Never tire of doing what is right.” In his letter to the Corinthians Paul says about himself that he is taking pains to do what is right. He is taking pains to do what is right in the eyes of the Lord. He is taking pains to do right in the eyes of men.
And finally here are the words of Peter, the apostle, also called Simon, “But even if you should suffer for what is right, you are blessed.”
“DO THE RIGHT THING!!
