Tag: Reject this at all costs!

1 Peter 3:10 – 12 (AMP) says: “For, “The one who wants to enjoy life and see good days [good—whether apparent or not], Must keep his tongue free from evil and his lips from speaking guile (treachery, deceit). 11 “He must turn away from wickedness and do what is right. He must search for peace [with God, with self, with others] and pursue it eagerly [actively—not merely desiring it]. 12 “For the eyes of the Lord are [looking favorably] upon the righteous (the upright), And His ears are attentive to their prayer (eager to answer), But the face of the Lord is against those who practice evil.” The Holy Scriptures are our authoritative instruction manual for life. Any Christian who reads these verses can clearly see that we are instructed of the Lord to not speak evil of anyone. We are not to deceive. We are to turn from wrong and continually cultivate that which is good and beneficial. We are to eagerly pursue peace in EVERY relationship! God’s eyes are continually looking at what we do, and He is pleased when we walk in His precepts. But it also says that He turns His back to those who practice evil. I want to be on His side. I never want God to turn His back on me. Therefore, practicing evil is something to stay away from at all costs. When we walk with God, He responds to our prayers. Determine to reject the way of the evil doer, and walk with God today. That is where your blessings are!
