ALWAYS DO GOOD

Acts 9:36 In Joppa there was a disciple named Tabitha (in Greek her name is Dorcas); she was always doing good and helping the poor. (NIV)

Dorcas was one of the disciples of the church in Joppa and was a very generous woman. The Bible says "she was always doing good and helping the poor." She devoted herself to helping the poor especially the widows. A time came that she too ill and died. The church (the disciples) at Joppa sent for Peter who was at the time at Lydda. "Please come at once." They pleaded.

When Peter got there all her beneficiaries especially the widows narrated to Peter how Dorcas had helped them. Each one of them showed him the clothes she bought for them. The whole community wanted her back to life. That's telling! That is how much being good can do.

Peter raised her back to life and presented her alive to them. Her good deed spoke for her. "A good name" the Bible says "is better than riches."

Proverbs 22:1 A good name is to be chosen rather than great riches, and favor is better than silver or gold.

Devote yourself to always do good. Doing good is a choice; it is an expression of your will. Choose to do good always. This has nothing to do with people's attitude and character towards you, rather it is an expression of your own attitude and character towards them.

The Bible tells us that Jesus went around doing good. Acts 10:38 how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and power, and how he went around doing good and healing all who were under the power of the devil, because God was with him.

It was a deliberate act; He went around doing good. Go out of your way to do good. Don't wait until everything is fine. Don't wait until everything is ready. Don't wait until you have everything. Use what you have now; do good with what you have now. As you do so God will multiply it.

PRAYER

Dear Father I am grateful that you called me and anointed me to do good works and to do so always. I devote myself to always do good to all people irrespective of their attitude and character towards me. And thank You for the privilege and blessing of doing good. Amen.
