God sees all and knows all. He knows the thoughts of the heart. He hears the words spoken in secret. There is nothing hidden from God. This should be great words of encouragement to choose to do good. To choose to do right. To turn from evil. If we would remember and understand that God is ever present, ever watching \u2013 not to catch us doing something bad or wrong.\u00a0 He wants to find someone in whom He can show Himself strong (see 2 Chronicles 16:9a where it says, \u201cFor the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to shew himself strong in the behalf of <\/strong>them<\/strong><\/em> whose heart <\/strong>is<\/strong><\/em> perfect toward him.<\/strong>\u201d).Who wouldn\u2019t want God to show Himself strong in their life? But in the rest of that verse, we find that God had wanted to do this for King Asa, but because he had relied upon the king of Syria instead of the Lord his God, he lost the battle. Not only that, but God told him, \u201cHerein thou hast done foolishly: therefore from henceforth thou shalt have wars<\/strong>\u201d (2 Chronicles 16:9b). How awful would it be to choose an earthly king to help you instead of God? But imagine having God, Himself, tell you that you had done foolishly! And that you would have wars from then on in your kingdom!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now relate that to the average Christian\u2019s life. Most Christians do not take into account that \u201cThe eyes of the Lord are in every place, beholding the evil and the good<\/strong>\u201d (Proverbs 15:3). They might occasionally remember that they are to choose to do good and not evil. But they don\u2019t take into consideration that God wants Christians to choose to do good so that he can show Himself mighty in their life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But we must remember something else very important. \u201cFor we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things <\/strong>done<\/strong><\/em> in <\/strong>his<\/strong><\/em> body, according to that he hath done, whether <\/strong>it be<\/strong><\/em> good or bad<\/strong>\u201d (2 Corinthians 5:10). God already knows all and sees all, but one day we will stand before Him and give an accounting of all that we have done in this life \u201cwhether it be<\/em> good or bad.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Knowing these things, what do you choose? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Will you choose good allowing God to show Himself mighty in your life? <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
