"Seek good, and not evil, that ye may live: and so the Lord, the God of hosts, shall be with you, as ye have spoken."
Amos 5:14
This seems fairly straightforward. Sometimes though I think we overcomplicate the gospel in our minds, and even confuse good and evil as we try to justify the things that we want. To get back on track, we need the spirit. Listening to God through prayer, reading the scriptures, taking time to meditate and ponder about God's word... those are things that can get us closer to clarity.
Today, let's make sure that we are seeking good and not evil. Let's work on life, and making sure we are close to God. If we put that endeavor first, the rest of our lives will make a lot more sense.
