You will be accepted if you do what is right. But if you refuse to do what is right, then watch out! Sin is crouching at the door, eager to control you. -Genesis 4:7(NLT)
REFUSING TO DO RIGHT
A poem and essay by ILMA
We are always given choices to make
Do you think long or choose in haste?
When you refuse to do what is right
You endanger your own life.
When you choose to do wrong
Sin will easily crouch at your door
It will control you and keep you in slavery
Do what’s right and you will have victory.
________________________________________
Why is it easy to do what is wrong? Our human nature is bent on it. Because of the fall in the Garden of Eden, we are prone to do that is wrong and it takes only God’s grace and mercy to do the right thing. Because of our sin nature, it is not second nature for us to do good. That is why it is important for us to have a close relationship with the Lord. It gives us strength and wisdom to choose what God wants for us. It straightens our bent nature.
The bible says that you will be accepted if you do what’s right. If you refuse to do so, the you will be very vulnerable and become easy prey to the devil. Sin will easily take over to control you.

You will be accepted if you do what is right, but if you refuse to do what is right, then watch out. Sin is crouching at the door, eager to control you. But you must subdue it and be its master. -Genesis 4:7(NLT)
DO WHAT IS RIGHT
A poem and essay by ILMA
Whenever there is an occasion to do what is right
Go ahead and do it, don’t hesitate or think twice
The opportunity may never come again
Then you will lose what you can gain.
Doing what is right will keep the devil away
He won’t knock on your heart’s door any day
Doing good is what keeps you protected
It makes you overcome any attempt at being tempted.

Have you ever encountered an opportunity to do good and missed out on it? I recently was interrupted in my work because of an invitation to help someone. Instead of willingly complying to the request, I came up with so many excuses not to do it. My panic attack and selfishness got the better of me and I declined it. As a consequence of foregoing this chance to do what is right, I am suffering now losing the chance to be with someone I really care for and love.
The bible tells us to do what is right because it closes the door to the enemy. It protects us from all kinds of bondage to sin.
PRAYER
Lord, forgive me for not choosing to do what is right.
REFLECTION
When did you do the right thing and reaped a harvest from it?
