The Right Thing

.
I don’t know the origin of this statement but I’ve heard it all of my life. “Character is what you do when no one is watching.”

It has to do with how you react to situations and how you treat people. It involves what you do, what you say, and what you don’t say.

Every day we are faced with situations where we have to make decisions. Lots of these take place when no one can see you.

Decide ahead of time that you are going to do the right thing. Set out with the desire in your heart to please God.

No matter what happens all around you, do the right thing. And sometimes all you can do is the next right thing.


Proverbs 11:3 “The integrity of the upright guides them”

Colossians 3:17 “And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.”

Romans 12:21 “Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.”

Micah 6:8 “He has showed you, O man, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.”
