”Listen, you lovers of God! Hate evil, for God can keep you from wrong and protect you from the power of wickedness. For he sows seeds of light within his devoted lovers, and seeds of joy burst forth for the lovers of God! So be glad and continue to give him thanks, for God’s holiness is seen in everything he does.“
As excited as we are for the future with President Trump and his outstanding Cabinet picks so far, we know that enemy is not rolling over and accepting defeat. We are not so naive to believe that. And one common caution I have heard from several trustworthy faith leaders since the election is the caution to believers not to be deceived by some of the things that may be said or some of the stunts that may be pulled in the coming weeks, months and even years ahead. I agree with them, but we also don’t need to live in fear of being deceived. This scripture is an instruction and encouragement on this point. It tells us to hate evil and God will keep us from wrong and protect us from the power of wickedness. It’s that simple. It says God sows seeds of light within his devoted lovers. So we will see that light coming from the people who are in truth. Hate evil and love the Lord with all your heart, mind, soul and strength and He will give you the discernment and protection you need.
