Set For A Good Day!

Days don’t always go as we would like or as we may have planned. Therefore as we look back on life we take note of good days and bad. However, good days and bad days don’t always become such because of what others have done. We must consider carefully what kind of ACTIONS AND WORDS WE OURSELVES ARE SOWING as we go about our daily activities.

As Peter exhorted his readers against retaliation and encouraged them toward unity of mind, sympathy, brotherly love, tender hearts, and humble minds ( 1 Peter 3:8-9), he quoted Psalm 34:12-16. The first portion of that quotation reads…

“(10) For ‘Whoever desires to love life and SEE GOOD DAYS, let him keep his tongue from evil and his lips from speaking deceit; (11) let him turn away from evil and DO GOOD; let him seek peace and pursue it.’” ( 1 Peter 3:10-11 ESV)

Have we ever had one of those days when it seemed every time we turned around we were putting our foot in our mouth or found ourselves saying something we regretted? The kind of words we sow through the day will affect what we reap and how we feel about the day. If we want good responses we must be prepared to SOW GOOD WORDS. If we want to receive good we must be willing to DO GOOD regardless of what others might be doing.

Let us continually bear in mind how the GOOD ACTIONS AND WORDS SOWN here and there throughout each day create the potential for good days to be looked back upon without regret. Even if not all goes well, if we have been SOWING GOOD, we can still feel good about the ACTIONS AND WORDS we were responsible for bringing into the day.

Have a great day HELPING BRING GOODNESS TO LIFE!
