SEEKING GOOD DILIGENTLY

He that diligently seeketh good procureth favour: but he that seeketh mischief, it shall come unto him. (Proverbs 11:27)

Whatsoever a man sows that is what he reaps. This scripture is so self-explanatory. Seeking good will always cause one to reap the right benefits. The scripture describes the degree of the search.  It says that “he that diligently seeks good” procureth favour. Diligence is defined as careful and thorough work or effort. We can then say that he or she that carefully and thoroughly seeks (looks for) good obtains favour. I know that the society we find ourselves in fans the flames of constant suspicion and many who desire to do good are sometimes discouraged but God’s word is clear.

It is a diligent pursuit of good that attracts favour. When you form or have a habit of doing good, it becomes a part of you and eventually becomes a lifestyle that others can attest to and invariably admire. This attitude excuses critics who think that you are pretending. When you repeatedly do a thing it becomes a part of you – it is like your second nature. Keep seeking good diligently because favour is walking in your direction. Be rest assured that as you continue the walk of goodness; you will ultimately collide with favour so do not be discouraged.
