THEME: ASK YOURSELF; IS THIS RIGHT?
ANCHOR TEXT: “No one is greater in this house than I am. My master has withheld nothing from me except you, because you are his wife. How then could I do such a wicked thing and sin against God?” Genesis 39:9.
To do what is right is to act in a way that pleases and glorifies God. It is having a mind disposed towards what is just according to good sense, not minding the circumstance. As a child of God, you are required to be honest and be straightforward in your dealings; the way you handle issues; keep promises, guard confidential conversations, react to situations and to the minutest saying of yes or no accordingly. People are watching to see if you are what you claim to be, and the best way to make known your belief is to live it. Do what is right at all times. If they see it modeled in your life, they will be more likely to take your faith seriously.
Henry Clay was a member of the U.S congress. He was to introduce a particular bill in the house, and some of his friends warned that it would damage his ambitions. ‘If you do this, Clay said one of his colleagues; ‘it will damage your chance for the presidency’. Clay asked; ‘but is the measure right?’ When his friends agreed that it was the right thing to do, he replied, ‘I would rather be right than being the president’.
