Become Followers of What is Good…
If we follow that which is good what could harm us? In what ways will our lives turn out to be off course, our of balance and causing harm to others? If we are acting as we are good, helping others at every turn, with every step, what could harm us?
As the days unfold before our eyes under the wing of our Master, Jesus Christ, our days would be filled with Light. While we stand in His shadow, there is no darkness, only the cool, refreshing breath of life we find in the shadow protected from a harsh desert sun. As the enemy, the devil, approaches we can more easily see him from where we stand. As the devil approaches we can remove him with the mention of our identity in Christ – I am a child of God. I belong to the King of kings. My identity is in Christ alone, and there will be no bowing before anyone, or anything, else.
And who is he who will harm you if you become followers of what is good? But even if you should suffer for righteousness’ sake, you are blessed. “And do not be afraid of their threats, nor be troubled.” 15But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts, and always be ready to give a defense to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you, with meekness and fear; having a good conscience, that when they defame you as evildoers, those who revile your good conduct in Christ may be ashamed. For it is better, if it is the will of God, to suffer for doing good than for doing evil. ~ 1 Peter 3:13-17 NKJB

Can we make mistakes if we are doing good? Is it possible that our good will is done for the wrong reason, with the wrong motive? Of course. This will never work. This endeavor will not come to fruition, as it is born from a mistaken identity.
Our Father will move the pieces as He sees fit. Our Father will tell us, in no uncertain terms, that we are either on the right path, the wrong path or we are about to crash and burn and should abandon the project immediately. It is when we ignore what our Heavenly Father, God Almighty has said that things go sideways and nothing good can come from the path we are pursuing.
Either the Scripture is the divine Word of God teaching us how to live and how to be a reflection of Him, or it’s nothing more than a historical account of events.
