VERSE
Amos 5:14-15 (KJV) Seek good, and not evil, that ye may live: and so the LORD, the God of hosts, shall be with you, as ye have spoken.
Hate the evil, and love the good, and establish judgment in the gate: it may be that the LORD God of hosts will be gracious unto the remnant of Joseph.
INSPIRATION
How many evil things have been done in the name of God? It takes a huge ego to act as if it is our choice. The verse before this mentions how the prudent keep quiet in evil times. Sometimes the wisest words are the ones that we keep to ourselves. Look for the good in things, and if you aren’t certain what that is, the wise person would keep quiet.
PRAYER
Our God in Heaven, it is difficult to remember how little we understand. Help me realize Your ways and to keep quiet when I am unsure. Help me to see the good around me and choose my words wisely. With Your aid, my Lord, I feel that I can improve my understanding day by day. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
