In that very moment of deciding good or evil

[humble soul]

Don't think too much . Just do.
Might be good advice if you always choose good. Or choose wisely.
But maybe some of us need to spend more time in the moment. The moment just before action.
Sending off that email which is full of anger and vitriol. Do I really need to do that? Maybe sleep on it and decide tomorrow.
But you need to express that pain asap....your frazzled mind will say. "I have to resolve this now".
Sleep on it I tell you. You may feel different tomorrow.
So your mind is gradually deciding that to wait until tomorrow is the right good decision. And to cave in to impatient anger is to send that email now.

Why choose good? The good choice might look weak actually. It might look like you are allowing someone to walk all over you. The good choice is more long term. The good Choice is saying " let God worry about justice. Focus on something more healthy."

 

[humble soul]

We need to love good. And we need to know what good is. Scripture can show us what good is. But make sure you have more than a superficial understanding of what gospel messages say.
Don't fall for goody goody good. Appearing good to others. Know that God is more interested in what you do behind the scenes, than in the limelight. Don't expect appreciation from others. Don't expect love from others. You might die a hated person but God doesn't value that. Mind you, if you are universally hated, you might be evil deep down too. If your dog hates you too, you had better start thinking about how you are going to like camping near the lake of fire.

To know what is ' good ' and to love that good is excellent advice. As is your advice to ' know your self ' we have to refund our minds as Romans 12:1+2 tells us so we can redeem what is good and do it.

Ultimately it is Jesus.

This is very wise of you.
