What Makes Man A Good Man?

"The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD: and he delighteth in his way. Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the LORD upholdeth him with his hand." Psalm 37:23,24

Inspiration with ITU Maboye
A good man hereinafter refers not necessarily to a perfect man from a perfect world. A good man is "a sinner saved by grace." A good man is one who can humble himself to acknowledge when he has erred. A good man is honest with himself and those around him. He maintains his integrity in the midst of all adversity and criticism. A good man lives by faith and not by sight that he may please Him who has called him from "darkness into this marvelous light."

What makes man a good man is not really his good works but the simple fact that his steps are ordered by the Good Lord. It is the Lord who gives orders and the good man obeys.

However, a good man, whose steps are ordered by the Lord, is not exempted from falling; lest he thinks he's making it in his own strength and abilities. Take note I said "falling" and not "falling down". A good man can fall but he never falls down because the Lord is close enough to keep him from falling down.

Challenge
Humble yourself, stay close to the Master and heed His orders, see if He can't keep you standing though others fall down.

Prayer
Father in heaven, I thank you for the challenge of your Word. By your mercies, forgive me and by faith lead me to total obedience of your Word. Following your orders is my highest goal, help me Lord. In Jesus' Name, Amen!
