04/12/17 GOOD BETTER BEST

THIS IS GOOD
There are people who want to do the right thing.

THIS IS BETTER
There are people who want to do the right thing, and for the right reason.

THIS IS BEST
There are people who want to do the right thing, for the right reason, and do it in the right way.

I think this is the mindset of the person who has the mind of Christ, the mind set of the person who, "Delights in the will of God."

Psalms 1:1-3
(1) Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.
(2) But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.
(3) And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.

Psalms 37:3-8
(3) Trust in the LORD, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed.
(4) Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.
(5) Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass.
(6) And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday.
(7) Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.
(8) Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not thyself in any wise to do evil.

Psalms 119:77
(77) Let thy tender mercies come unto me, that I may live: for thy law is my delight.
