Doing Good
What reward is there for those who do good? Is there value in being good and doing good?
Being good is its own reward.
God also intercedes for and protects those who are concerned with what is good.
The Apostle Peter wrote, “Now who is there to harm you if you are zealous for what is good?” (1 Peter 3:13, ESV).
We can be sure that God is with us and that God goes before us as we “are zealous for what is good?”
May we focus on the good and do good in the world as we enjoy the security of God’s protection and presence with us.
A Collect for the Third Sunday of Epiphany:
“Give us grace, O Lord, to answer readily the call of our Savior Jesus Christ and proclaim to all people the Good News of his salvation, that we and the whole world may perceive the glory of his marvelous works; who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.” (Book of Common Prayer, 2019).
