Proverbs 8:13
” The fear of the Lord is to hate evil.”
Devotion.
” As we grow spiritually, we gradually change our reaction to sin. At first, we struggle to stop ourselves from engaging in the evil behaviour that we enjoy.
However, we eventually grow spiritually to the point where we actually hate the evil behaviour and no longer want to do it” Quote C. Stanley.
Prayer (for you)
Heavenly Father,
I stand in awe of Your Mighty power, Your Holy Power, Your Creative power and Majesty.
I give You all the glory and praise that is due to You.
O Lord, please help me to resist evil, hate evil tendencies and sin.
Help me look to You, Lord Jesus, because You will help me, guide me on the straight and narrow way that leads to life eternal through Your great sacrifice of love for me.
Please help me to grow in grace and in the full knowledge and understanding of You, of what life is all about.
So that I will detest sin and evil tendencies, and turn away from the things of the world that so easily beset me.
And look to You, Lord Jesus, Who is the Author and Finishes of my faith.
Yes, Lord, my faith is in You, my Saviour, Redeemer, Advocate, Intercessor, Good Shepherd, Friend and soon coming King of Kings and Lord of lords.
O Lord, please help me to get to the stage where I detest, hate sin, sinfulness, wickedness and evil.
Because You are a Holy God and nothing sinful or evil can come into Your Holy Presence.
Please help me to resist temptation to sin and sinfulness.
And forgive me of my past sins, and cleanse me with Your precious blood and make me clean in Your Holy sight.
O Lord, please be my life’s guide and save me by Your grace.
O Lord, thank You for Your Infinite love for me and Your amazing grace that saves to the uttermost.
In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.
