Your love must be real. Hate what is evil, and hold on to what is good.
Dear Ones: Hold on to what is good! Is Paul’s charge to the Roman Christians. Only the Spirit of God can give you the wisdom to recognize good from evil in these days of the great lie. We are constantly bombarded with information that is presented as truth. But the fruit of these words that result in evil actions speak louder and reveal the corruption and lies at their core. Our genuine love of the Lord becomes an amazing defense against the culture of lies that surrounds us. He will give us eyes to see (discern) the truth so that we will reject evil and cling to what is good.
Is this an easy thing to do? Not really. The explosion of digital devices and instant communications has benefits and curses attached to it. Our minds are overloaded with all kinds of data coming at warp speed. Separating the truth from the lies is impossible to do in our own strength. But the Lord living in us as Christians will empower us to discern what is good from the evil masquerading as good. The closer we walk with Him the greater our perception becomes as to what is darkness and what is light in the Lord.
May you hold fast to what is good as He enlightens the eyes of your understanding. Receive Paul’s charge and turn away from evil. May you be able to comprehend the Light as you walk with the Lord every day. I bless you in Jesus’ name.
