TODAY’S WORD…

.

Seek good, not evil,

that you may live.

Then the Lord God Almighty will be with you,

just as you say He is.

.

– Amos 5:14 (NIV)

.

.

.

REFLECTION…

.

This is such a simple but clear call to conversion,

directed at us all.

.

We often need to look inside ourselves

to realise and admit

that in our, sometimes blind, efforts

to satisfy our ego and our yearnings,

we so often seek that which is not good for our soul.

.

If we truly believe that God is with us,

then we should forever seek what is good,

because we ought to be very well aware

that it is only in what is good that we will find God

…and truly live!

.

.

.

PRAYER…

.

I believe in You, O Lord,

and my soul yearns for You,

yet I am weak and selfish

…and foolish enough

to sometimes seek what clearly goes against Your Truth.

.

Lord, I want to truly live

with You in my heart.

Come Lord, and cleanse me;

strengthen my resolve to always honour You;

and fill me with life,

and with Your love, joy and peace.

.

I love You Lord.

Forgive me Lord.

Renew me Lord.

.

Amen.

.

.

.
