Turn from evil and do good; seek peace and pursue it. — Psalm 34:14 Thoughts on Today's Verse... It is not enough to turn from evil. We can clean the putrid things out of our lives and hearts, but if we do not actively pursue what is good, then a worse evil can rush into the void, and our second condition becomes worse than the first ( Matthew 12:43-45 ). So, let's be people who turn from evil, become eager to do what is good, and with a passion choose to "wage peace." My Prayer... O Father, please let me be an instrument of your peace. Where there is hatred, use me to share your love and grace. Where there is injury, sin, and brokenness, please use me to bring healing, forgiveness, and comfort. Please, Abba Father, use me to do your good work in my broken world as I seek to live at peace with all people. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.

These deadly evils unleash deception and destruction that we cannot control. This unleashed poisonous power not only harms those about whom and to whom we speak, but evil words and lies eventually boomerang, coming back to bring their deadly payload into our own lives. Let's be people who speak what is right, good, wholesome, holy, true, and a blessing ( Ephesians 4:20-5:12 ). My Prayer... Holy and Righteous God, my Father, purify my heart. Please cleanse my words of all deceit, slander, vulgarity, wickedness, untruth, exaggeration, mean-spiritedness, distortion, guile, and words that wound. May the words of my mouth and the in...

Video Commentary... ToGather Worship Guide | More ToGather Videos My Prayer... Thank you, Father, for the promise that you will never leave me or forsake me, even though friends and partners may betray and leave me behind.
