Keep Away
From Everything
That Even Looks Like Sin.
Scripture
1 Thessalonians 5
16 Always be joyful.
17 Never stop praying. 18 Be thankful in all circumstances, for
this is God’s will for you who belong to Christ Jesus.
19 Do not stifle the Holy
Spirit. 20 Do not
scoff at prophecies, 21 but
test everything that is said. Hold on to what is good. 22 Stay away from every kind of evil. NLT
1 Thessalonians 5
22 Keep away from everything that even looks like sin. NLV
Observation
In the King James Version of the Bible it says, “Abstain from all
appearance of evil.” If we are tempted to dabble with something or in something
that is questionable this verse warns us not to do it! If it is a gray area,
something that is not black or white, don’t do it; Stay away from it. Do things
that will bring God glory and honor. Let’s live our lives in a way that makes
God smile. Let’s not do anything that even looks like sin!
1 Peter 5
8 Stay alert! Watch out for your
great enemy, the devil. He prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for
someone to devour. 9 Stand
firm against him, and be strong in your faith.
Ephesians 6
11 Put on all of God’s armor so that you will be able to stand firm
against all strategies of the devil.
Application
I
will strive to live my life in a way that honors God. How about you?
Prayer
Heavenly
Father, keep me away from stupid sins, sins that will destroy my life, sins
that will damage my testimony, sins that will make You frown. Keep me away from
anything that even looks like sin. If it is questionable help me say no to it.
I pray for those that are reading this blog that may be holding onto a habit
that does not glorify You. Give them strength to let it go. Give them the
strength to say, “No”. Help them to live lives worthy of their calling.
