It is true that our actions affect other people. If we get angry, we may damage relations, destroy property, and even affect outcomes. If we help another person in need, we may improve their ability to move forward in life. Often, we don’t consider the wider impact of the way we live our lives.
Proverbs 11:10 says, “When it goes well with the righteous, the city rejoices. and when the wicked perish there are shouts of gladness.” When we live righteously, even those around us benefit. We can improve the outlook for our families, neighborhood, cities, and nations by choosing to live the lives that God intended for us.
