Whatever you do, do it right!

"And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him."     Colossians 3:17   NKJV 

Whatever we do in our daily walk of life, we need to ensure that we are doing it right. The only way we can be sure that we are doing things right, is to think 'What would Jesus do here?' 'How would he handle this situation?' If faced with temptation such as adultery or the desire to steal something that takes the eye, what would Jesus do? Well the answer to this can be found in Hebrews 4:15: 'For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathise with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin.' Jesus suffered temptation; it was an every day occurrence for Him and yet, He never fell to the temptation. He kept Himself pure and whole. He knows though, how it feels. (Hebrews 4:14-16)

Max Lucardo writes an interesting piece:

'Do what is right this week, whatever it is, whatever comes down the path, whatever problems and dilemmas you face - just do what's right. Maybe no one else is doing what's right, but you do what's right. You be honest. You take a stand. You be true. After all, regardless of what you do, God does what is right: He saves you with His grace.' Max Lucardo - Walking with the Saviour

Did you get that? Whatever you do, do it the way Jesus would do it. If a bad thought comes into your head, then take it captive, before it overcomes you. (2 Corinthians 10:4-5).

Refuse to look at or listen to, what you shouldn't look at or listen to - things that can lead you into the trap of adultery, fornication, lust or whatever else may try to capture you. Walk away from the desire to purchase something that you know you can't afford. A credit card can be very useful. However, if you can't pay the balance off each month then it will lead to debt. The temptation is so great. Beware of the company you keep. It's good to have friends who are unbelievers. How else will they get to know Jesus. However, beware of the danger of falling into their way of life - sin, excessive drinking, unwholesome jokes etc. Just do what Jesus would do; let them feel Jesus’ presence by not watering down your faith with compromise.

So, this coming week, determine to walk with the Saviour, determine to only do what He would do. Keep your eyes on the Author and Finisher of our faith (Hebrews 12:2). Let all you meet have the opportunity to see Jesus in you
