“God is not so unjust as to overlook your work and the love which you showed for his sake in serving the saints, as you still do. And we desire each one of you to show the same earnestness in realising the full assurance of hope until the end, so that you may not be sluggish, but imitators of those who through faith and patience inherit the promises.”
Excerpt, First Reading, Tuesday 21st January 2025 – HEBREWS 6:10-20.
So, today’s teaching is an emphasis that every good we do for the sake and purpose of goodness is never overlooked and wouldn’t go unrewarded by God.
It must however not be lost on us that, feigning to be good or doing good for self aggrandisement is not included above. We have already got paid by the show we put up while supposedly doing that ‘good’ action.
For example, when we carry cameras along with us when we are going to give.
When we are aware that our neighbour is starving but we would rather load our baskets with various food items and take them to the orphanage home. Such good, He doesn’t recognise.
When we stop voluntarily to offer help to a motorist that broke down by the roadside, is the type of good today is all about.
When going to church or work, and we stop and give lift to a neighbour going our way is what today’s type of good is.
Dear friend, we lift the heart of God whenever we do such good just for the betterment of mankind.
Remember, what the scriptures say, “Charity covers a multitude of sins.” – 1 PETER 4:8.
May our collective efforts in the little good we do here and there add up to make the world a more better place.
Have a fantastic day folks.
