Many times when I have an idea to do something good, I don’t have the resolve to follow through. Whether it be a lack of self-confidence or faith, I neglect to do the good thing that I want to do. Even if it is a small thing like giving a compliment that is deserved, I back away at times. Later I am ashamed and full of regret for not doing the good that I know I could have done and even wanted to do.
II Thessalonians 1:11 says, “To this end we always pray for you, that our God may make you worthy of his calling and may fulfill every resolve for good and every work of faith by his power.” Anytime we want to do a good work, God promises to give us the strength to do the good that we desire. All we have to do is exercise the faith to do it. So let’s trust God and see Him do good works through us and find out how the world around us will be changed.
