When do we do the right thing

When Do We Do The Right Thing?     

  

Many of us know the difference between right and wrong?  There is this small, still voice inside that guides us and tells us what to do and what not to. Do you remember the moral implications of doing the right thing versus committing wrongs?  So, what do you do? You do the right thing right?  But  not always.  We always do the right thing when someone is looking on.

 

See a man is walking down the street in the middle of the night with the intention to steal. He is sure that no one is watching him. All of a sudden a friend sneaks up on him. "Hey, what are you up to?" asks the friend. The man tells a lie, "Nothing much; I was just enjoying the stillness of the night." The fear of being detected as a thief by a friend forces this man not to steal. He abandons his plan and returns home.

 

A woman in a crowded room sees a $100 bill on the ground. People are milling around, so she asks, "Does this belong to anyone?" But if no one is around, she may not think twice before slipping the money into her purse.

 

We do the right thing when people are looking. We don't do this when no one is around. Why? 

Because we forget that we are constantly being watched by God. We are afraid of mere mortals judging us, but we are not concerned about the justice imparted by the all-knowing one.

 

See the moral compass that we all have should be facing in the Godly direction all the time. It's only then that we will always do the right thing.  Have a blessed day...
