GOOD IMITATORS

 
 
3 John 1:11


"Beloved, no not imitate evil but imitate good. Whoever does good is from God; whoever does evil has not seen God." ESV


In this day and age when things that are evil are seen as good and things that are good are seen as evil, how can we know the difference and make sure we are imitating what is really good? Friends, this is not something we can just do because it feels right, or because everyone seems to be doing things this way, or because it's what's expected from us by family and friends. We can know that which is truly good and imitate it by sincerely seeking to know God, going to the throne of Grace continually, seeking the Truth through the Word of God, and being open to the Holy Spirit. God has not given us a guessing game here. If we are truly seeking God, we will be doing good because we will be close to Him like a child to his mother and father, and we will do what He does.


Heavenly Father, You know that our spirits are willing, but our flesh is weak. We tend to take the easier route and just do what seems right at the time. Forgive us for that. Give us unending hunger for the things of Your kingdom and give us open hearts to hear the voice of the Spirit telling us which way to go and how to be like You. We pray this in Jesus' name, Amen.
