NO EVIL
Sirach 7:1-3
Do no evil things,
And evil will never overtake you.
Stay away from wrongdoing,
And it will turn away from you.
My son, do not sow on the furrows of wrongdoing,
And you will not reap the same things sevenfold.
Encouraging Words
Sometimes the scriptures are so very crystal clear. Stay away from evil and evil things will not overtake you. Do not sow wrongdoing and you will not reap wrongdoing. Even with this clarity, we still choose far too often to dabble in evil and wrongdoing because it is attractive to our carnal bodies. The good news, the encouraging words, are that Jesus destroyed death and the power that sin holds over us so that we could follow in His footsteps and develop the ability in our lives to say "No!" to evil and wrongdoing. Glory be to God!
