Verse of the Day:  Psalm 34:14         

Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it.  

Evil is all around us, all we have to do is turn on the evening news to see proof of the evil in this world. To live a peaceful life, the Bible tells us to turn from evil. This includes evil people, evil places and all things evil. Instead, do good according to God’s Word through faith and with love for the honor and glory to God. Ask the Lord to give you the strength and grace to actively seek peace if at all possible in every area of your life and with all people. Peace is its own reward.

Heavenly Father, protect us from all the evil in this world. Help us to depart from evil and do good for Your honor and glory. Grant us strength and the grace we need to seek peace with all people. Amen
