The Easy - Open Book Test



I Peter 3:8-12
says:
8 Finally, all of you be of one mind, having compassion for one another; love as brothers, be tenderhearted, be courteous;
9 not returning evil for evil or reviling for reviling, but on the contrary blessing, knowing that you were called to this, that you may inherit a blessing.
10 For

"He who would love life
And see good days,
Let him refrain his tongue from evil,
And his lips from speaking deceit.

11 Let him turn away from evil and do good;
Let him seek peace and pursue it.

12 For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous,
And His ears are open to their prayers;
But the face of the Lord is against those who do evil."


Doesn't God have a good idea? For those of us that LOVE life and want to see Good Days for our lives....and showing us HOW to have them. :)

I'm remembering a place over in Jeremiah 29:11 that tells us:
For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.

Oh Father, HELP US to hear and listen to Your instructions for our lives. Your burden is really light for us all. Help us to hide your Word in our hearts so we can be delivered from every trap that satan would try to lay for us, and so we will not sin against you. Help us to follow You and the paths YOU have FOR us. Thank You that Your thoughts really ARE of peace and not evil, and that Your love is shown to us every day of our lives. In Jesus' Name.
