“And God saw that it was good.” (Genesis 1:10 NLT)
The Bible begins by describing God’s creativity. Each day, God evaluates His work and sees that it is good.
Unlike God, humans are flawed. Not everything we do is good. However, we could all manage to do one intentional, good thing every day. We can be kind to someone, encourage someone, feed someone, be a good friend, be generous, be patient, show love, extend forgiveness, give guidance, show appreciation, or pray for someone in need. We can clean up a mess, take care of an animal, plant a seed, and protect the earth. It doesn’t have to be something different every day. Consistency trumps novelty. We start noticing that our days are filled with ministry opportunities.
Each good deed has the potential to make a positive difference. All we can do is input our energy and resources; we can’t control the outcome. We may or may not feel good while doing it. We may or may not receive appreciation. Most of what one does will never even be noticed by others. However, every good thing we do grants us the opportunity to serve God and be a part of His creative process.
