Psalm 34:14
"Turn away from evil and
do good; seek peace and pursue it." ESV
We all naturally seek after
those things that satisfy the senses. We have been created that way. However, we
have been made new creatures in Christ with authority over our own wills. The
Word of God tell us to choose good and stay away from evil. We can no longer put
the blame for our sins and wrongdoing on anyone or anything outside of
ourselves. Wherever there is strife and turmoil, evil and temptation, we can
freely look for the Godly, peaceful solution and go after it.
Heavenly Father, forgive us for
allowing our old sinful natures to cause us to fall into the trap of sin and
temptation to do those things that are displeasing to You. Give us openness to
the Holy Spirit, to stand strong and be fully able and free to turn away from
anything evil, and to run after Your peace. We pray in the name of Jesus our
Lord, Amen.
