I love how God always raises the standards for us to live up to. We are not to do what everyone expects; instead we are to live to a higher standard. When others insult or give us evil we are to respond by asking God to bless them. This is important because by controlling our tongues in this way we will help insure we see good days. There are responsibilities we have if we want to see good days during our lives. We must leave evil behind by focusing on and making ourselves busy doing what is good. One of the good things we can do is invest our energy in doing those things that will bring peace to those around us. If we are doing these things they will help to make us live righteously and this kind of living removes barriers from between us and God. This allows God to be expectantly waiting for our prayers so that He may be quick in answering them. These answers to our prayers will also lead to us having many good days in our lives. Are we removing the barriers to experiencing the good days God has promised?
