What is the day to do what is good?



What is the day of worshipping and praising the Creator?



I know that this question can seem absurd, idiot. Nonetheless, many people discuss about this. The order of the Holy Scripture is clear:



  • “Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.” (Psa 1:1,2).
  • “Rejoice evermore. Pray without ceasing. In ever everything give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.” (1Th 5:16-18).
  • “Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.” (1Co 10:31)


This was illustrated through the tabernacle in the Old Testament, where the fire should be kept burning day and night in the holocaust altar, incense altar, golden candlestick and shewbread table (see Exo 27:20; 29:38; Lev 6:13; 24:2-4,8; 30:7,8). That is, the fire of the Creator must remain CONTINUALLY and DAILY burning all the impurity of our heart and the people who remain with us (see 2Cor 3:18)..



Furthermore, it is necessary that we are prepared for what Jesus wish to do through us:



  • “Let your loins be girded about, and your lights burning; and ye yourselves like unto men that wait for their lord, when he will return from the wedding; that when he cometh and knocketh, they may open unto him immediately. Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching: verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make them to sit down to meat, and will come forth and serve them.” (Luk 12:35-37).


We need to dedicate to Jesus all the time so that we can fulfill the following commandments:



  • “Let your speech be alway with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man.” (Col 4:6);
  • “Holding fast the faithful word as he hath been taught, that he may be able by sound doctrine both to exhort and to convince the gainsayers.” (Titus 1:9)
  • “But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:” (1Pe 3:15);
  • “Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” (2Ti 2:15).


And our commitment ought to be full:



  • “Cursed be he that doeth the work of the LORD deceitfully, and cursed be he that keepeth back his sword from blood.” (Jer 48:10).


Thus:



  • “See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, redeeming the time, because the days are evil. Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is.” (Eph 5:15-17).


Finally, I ask you: what is the time for doing evil or living for satisfying our ambitions? See Romans 13:11-14; 1Thess 5:4-8; 1Peter 4:1-3 and the verse below:



  • “In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.” (1Jn 4:9);
  • “He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked.” (1Jn 2:6)


Have a good new week taking advantage of all opportunity to be light in this world (Matthew 5:14-16).
