Purging the Evil

Scripture Deuteronomy 21:[21] Then all the men of his town shall stone him to death. You must purge the evil from among you. All Israel will hear of it and be afraid.

Observation: Can you image if we purged all the evil in today’s world? There wouldn’t be anything left or very little. We seem to choose to ignore evil or except it as a way of life. Every day on the news I hear about the evil men and women do to each other, children and others. I see how we take God out of everything, unless it is a disaster and then we ask God to bless America. It is time to purge the evil from this place, but I don’t know if there is enough stones anymore.

Application: I can’t control what the world does, I’m limited to what I have control of and that’s a start. If I would purge the evil from my own life and not give in to temptation that would be a start. I need to be kinder to others and set an example of a God fearing man in my small realm of influence. I need to start with my own life and be proactive in doing good.

Prayer: Dear Lord I sit here each day being tempted to do evil and I need you to make me the man you desire me to be. I need to purge the evil from my heart and mind and be someone that pleases you. I love you with my whole heart and can’t wait to be with you. Help rid me of the evil that dwells in my heart.
