Seek Good not Evil

Seek good, not evil, that you may live. Then the LORD God Almighty will be with you, just as you say he is. -- Amos 5:14

Many illicit and evil groups have claimed to have God on their side. Horrific things have been done under the disguise of a "Christian" movement. People harboring things of this world in the Name of the Lord, the very thing God is against. People calling themselves leaders of the church but having nothing of Christ in them. God is slow to anger but not forgetful, especially if a person does not repent. Jesus, however, told us we could recognize people by their fruit. Those who seek good and abhor evil and those who practice justice and mercy are the ones who have God with them. Let's make sure our claim of God's presence is matched by the presence of God's character in our lives!


[ Prayer Starter ]

Almighty God and loving Father, thank You for your presence in my life. Please forgive me when I let sin and selfishness crowd You out and bring reproach to your Name. Empower me with your Holy Spirit to live as your holy child while displaying your righteous character to the world. In Jesus' Name I pray. Amen.
