A person who sincerely wants to get rid of any evil that is present in his life, has to follow a certain procedure. Simply trying to get away from evil alone would not make one to withstand against it. That is why the psalmist comes up with the proven spiritual lesson of concentrating oneself on at least three activities towards the opposite direction: “Turn from evil and do good; seek peace and pursue it.” (Ps 34:14) Here, he is convincing us of doing every good we know, and thereby enjoying peace as a benefit, and rigorously seeking the increase of what we have gained and experienced in the process. Thus, our activity has to be at least three good against one evil. And this strategy will definitely bring us benefits beyond our imagination. May God give us courage and grace to plan and proceed with the proven spiritual lessons.

Abba, thank You for directing us towards the right path. Let Your Spirit strengthen us to walk along this new spiritual path, in Jesus’ Most Wonderful Name, Amen.
