Reformed Doctrine Daily Devotions

“The one who desires life, to love and see good days,
Must keep his tongue from evil and his lips from speaking deceit.
¹¹ “He must turn away from evil and do good;
He must seek peace and pursue it.
¹² “For the eyes of the Lord are toward the righteous,
And His ears attend to their prayer,
But the face of the Lord is against those who do evil.”  1 Peter 3:8-12.

The temptation for me is to only read my daily devotion Scripture with only a purpose of writing about it.  But, our Lord was gracious to convict me that I need to apply it to a recent event in my life.  

I need to bear up under sorrow when suffering unjustly the very little that I did experience.  

I need to seek peace and pursue it.

I need to keep my tongue from evil and my lips from speaking deceit.

I need to not insult, but rather give a blessing.

I need to turn away from evil and do good.

I need to be harmonious.

I need to be sympathetic.

I need to be brotherly.

I need to be kindhearted. 

I need to be humble in spirit.

In conclusion, I need to meditate on these qualities and remember them.  I need to trust God to instill these qualities in me.  I need to apply these qualities to my attitudes and actions about this recent event. 

Praise God that He miraculously brought the perfect Scripture to me today!
