It's Not Rocket Science

Acts 10:38 "How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with Him."

God is so good to "dumb it down for us" when it comes to what is expected of us today and every day.  This verse totally simplifies the greatness of Christ by saying that He went about "doing good."  The truth is that life is really not rocket science.  The situations we face today that will require a decision on our part generally are not that difficult...simply "do good."  

Emotion, being the great enemy of clarity, will attempt to distort the facts but we must not allow anything to complicate what God has simplified. 

When faced with temptation to do wrong...do good.
When faced with persecution...do good.
When faced with trial...do good.
When faced with confusion...do good.
When faced with fear...do good.

Whatever the choice is today, identify the "good" choice and do it.

Not only has God simplified His will but He also anoints us with the power to "do good."  What a great set-up!
