Blessed are those who don’t feel guilty for doing something they have decided is right. If you do anything you believe is not right, you are sinning. Romans 14:22 & 23(NLT)
WHEN YOU DO WHAT’S RIGHT
A poem and essay by ILMA
When you believe something’s not right
Don’t do it for it will complicate your life
It is a sin when you do what is not true
When you feel guilty, check the truth.
When you seek God and get deep into Scriptures
You’ll learn to fight the battle and be a victor
Blessed are you when you are afraid to do wrong
The Holy Spirit will help you overcome this world.

Researchers at Cornell University estimate we make 226.7 decisions each day on food alone. And as your level of responsibility increases, so does the multitude of choices you have to make. It’s estimated that the average adult makes about 35,000 remotely conscious decisions each day. Each decision, of course, carries certain consequences with it that are both good and bad.
What if our decisions are based on unfounded facts or lies? Can you imagine what it would be like if you are surrounded by things or ideas that are not true? The apostle Paul was explaining to the Romans about how we need to be guided by God’s truth and how blessed are those who don’t feel guilty for doing something they decided is right.

God did this to demonstrate his righteousness, for he himself is fair and just, and he makes sinners right in his sight when they believe in Jesus. – Romans 3:26(NLT)
RIGHT IN GOD’S SIGHT
A poem and essay by ILMA
When God sent his Son to redeem all sinners
He gave us the option to choose to be a believer
God did this to demonstrate his righteousness
He is faithful to fulfill all of his promises.
The Lord makes sinners right in his sight
He requires us to have faith and live in his light
Believe only in the Lord Jesus Christ
He is fair and just and easily forgives.

Being right is a natural bent of humans. We engage in discussions and conversations to prove that we are right. Being right in our own mind is not the same as being right in God’s sight. The first involves pride while the second requires a lot of humility and also faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. When we want to be right on our own, we focus on serving ourselves. When we desire to be right in the sight of God, we rely on his sovereignty and his power. His grace and mercy is overflowing when he gave his only begotten Son to free us from the debt of sin.
How can we be right in God’s sight? Growing our faith is one of the best ways we can please him.

How can we grow our faith so we can continue to be right in the Lord?

Listen to me! For I have important things to tell you. Everything I say is right, for I speak the truth and detest every kind of deception. – Proverbs 8:6-7(NLT)
SPEAK THE TRUTH AND BE RIGHT
A poem and essay by ILMA
When we focus on what is true, we receive freedom
Everything you say must be pointing to God’s kingdom
What is important to speak the truth in love
It leads us closer to the heaven up above.
If you are committed to Jesus, you detest deception
Lies are dishonoring to all of God’s creation
Speak only what is lovely, admirable and true
Keep your tongue from evil so you can stay pure.
________________________________________
In James chapter 3, we are given a guideline on controlling the tongue. It says in verse 2 that, if we could control our tongues, we would be perfect and could also control ourselves in every way. So, the key to a disciplined and prudent life is in the tongue. Proverbs 18:21 says that the tongue can bring death or life. Even though it is a small thing as James 3:5 says, it can make grand speeches, but also, a tiny spark can set a great forest fire. It is the only thing humans cannot tame. It is restless and evil, full of deadly poison (verse 8). We are cautioned to use our tongue only to speak the truth and detest every form of deception.
