Scripture: "Put away from thee a froward mouth, and perverse lips put far from thee. Let thine eyes look right on, and let thine eyelids look straight before thee. Ponder the path of thy feet, and let all thy ways be established. Turn not to the right hand nor to the left: remove thy foot from evil." Proverbs 4:24-27 (KJV) "For they sleep not, except they have done mischief; and their sleep is taken away, unless they cause some to fall." Proverbs 4:16 (KJV) Application: We shouldn’t even think about fighting evil people with our own sorry human resources. Evil folks have more practice because they stay awake plotting our downfall while we’re trying to sleep. We can’t beat them at their own game. We’d do better by putting away our froward (that means a pouty, and potty, mouth) and instead put on our forward looking faces. Look straight ahead. Follow the course God has charted. Prayer: Lord, take away the impulse within us to fight evil with evil, and urge us to channel all that energy into the work You’ve established for us. Amen. Comments are closed.
