Try it…You’ll Like it!
Have you ever heard the comment: Try it—you’ll like it? When we make new recipes, we try them to see if we will like them. When we plan a vacation, we might select a new location to visit. We try it to see if we’ll like it.
How about trying to live for the Lord each day? You can be sure you’ll be happy and satisfied. Serving others continually to please God is the best! Why? Because we reap what we sow.
When we are continually thinking, “What can I do for God next?” then we are busy doing God’s Will. We also know that what we think is what we’ll do. So, we might as well do good for God—being He repays good for good and evil for evil (Psalm 125:4; Prov. 24:29; Eph. 6:8). God is the One who makes these everlasting laws and He will make sure they are fulfilled (Jer. 17:10; 32:19). When we continually do good for God, and are making all our ways pleasing to Him, our life becomes blessed.
Many people walk around uptight, thinking and speaking negative. They are full of anxiety, being inward and selfish. Nothing pleases these people, because they do not know God’s beautiful Way of righteousness that brings about peace (Rom 2:10; Rom 14:17). God has called us to His Ways of love to make a difference in this world. He has called us to be an example of godliness; yes, a light in a dark, evil world (Phil. 2:15). What a privilege. What an honor to be called to serve our Lord. Matthew 5:16 tells us to be a bright light by doing good to others continually.
In closing, I ask, Is God calling you today? Are you interested in changing the way you think, speak and live? Would you like to be filled with contentment, peace, love and happiness? Would you like to make a difference in this world to glorify God by doing good for others in need? Try it—you’ll like it.
