I love this…
“If you search for good, you will find favor; but if you search for evil, it will find you!”
Proverbs 11:27
My natural instinct is to always want to find the good in any situation… I hate even the thought of confrontation, anger and resentment.
Evil is such a strong word, and sometimes it’s hard for me to remember that bad and evil have an agenda….
By instinct I want to protect myself. What I have learned, and what this scripture is telling us is powerful!
If you find yourself in a situation of judgment or resentment, and you are carelessly letting feelings of darkness, turn your eyes away from whatever is good…
look out!
This scripture says the evil will find you…
How true is that?!
How many times I have opened the door to this course of action… enough to have been stung and stung again!
It seems that evil will always be present…. especially when good is wanting to shine the light of hope!
It is my heart’s desire to seek God’s hope in all things…
To know that God asks us to search for good gives me the strength to believe that He honors that.
He will give us favor in the situation, and He will turn the tide.
Obedience is the key.
Search for good… and you WILL find favor…
Dear Father, These words are pure delight to my soul. You are good….
Thank You for shinning Your light of truth so brightly. My heart can so easily be consumed by the darkness I see. Thank You for clarity and light!
Thank You that I don’t have to be sucked into the darkness…
You are my way out…
Help me to memorize this scripture.
To write it on my heart, and recall it daily…
“If you search for good, you will find favor; but if you search for evil, it will find you!”
Proverbs 11:27
Thank You, Oh Lord, that You have plans to prosper and not to harm me… You have plans to give me hope and a future…
What more can I ask for…
You truly love me..
You Give me the strength I need, to be the woman You know I want to be…
Strong and loving… Hopeful and joyful…
Thankful and giving…
Secure in You.
Consumed by who You are…
I love You, Father…
Keeping my eyes on You.. Searching for the good.
Letting go of what is evil…
Walking in the light…
In Jesus Name,
Amen
Live in Love,
Lisa
“Beauty is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the Lord, is to be praised..”
