“to be rich in good deeds” [I Timothy 6:18(NIV)]
July 16
“to be rich in good deeds”. Paul has been playing on the word ‘rich’, speaking of the uncertainty of worldly riches compared with the eternal reward that comes from a rich and generous spirit. Good deeds will be the evidence of a generous heart.
This is not a one-off action done out of guilt or on a whim, but it is a life that is given over to showing goodness to others just as Christ has shown His goodness to us. We may not have much money in the bank, but we can all be rich in good deeds.
Spending time in serving others is as good an investment as we will ever make. It’s not an option for the follower of Christ, but a command. Let us be obedient today as opportunities come our way. [AP]
