Remember our “Run to God! Run from evil!” post the other day? The original content was a little edgier and was “watered down” for final distribution.
This “Naming Evil” devotional (HERE) shares more eloquently some important thoughts. Take a read when you have 2 minutes.
As efforts persist to root out evil, let’s continue naming it. And amidst those thoughts and actions may we heed Proverbs 3:5-7:
- we should pray for wisdom
- we shouldn’t try to have all the answers
- as we proceed in conversation and action, we can listen for God’s voice
- we should remain confident that God will be with us
- we should pray for strength and support as we endure the angst and actions of the political season
PRAYER: Creator God, help us follow Proverb teachings, continuing to run to you while seeking wisdom, conversation, support, action and more. Move in us that we might continually work to help all people run away from the evils you deplore. Amen!
Enjoy the day, filled with the Spirit!
