Sin Sows Darkness in Our Flesh

The one who wants to love life and see good days must keep his tongue from evil and his lips from speaking deceit, and he must turn away from evil and do what is good.

He must seek peace and pursue it, because the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous and His ears are open to their request.

But the face of the Lord is against those who do what is evil. 1 Peter 3:10-12

Speaking evil and having an unforgiving heart can make us sick. I am watching two people who are facing illness: one is an offended heart, the other struggles with judgement.

The problem with speaking evil is having to deal with cancer and other horrible diseases. An offended heart causes us to face disease instead of life.

When I am sick I must first look at me, have I done something to send my protector away? Then, and only then, can I blame the devil.

The 'evil' above must be  Christian because Peter says: the one who wants to love life.....must seek peace and pursue it, because the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous.... But the face of the Lord is against those who do what is evil.

We can not practise evil and expect to be exempt from the cost of sin.  God will forgive us but we may have stayed too long in the camp of the evil one and his seed may have infected us. Life and death are choices we make. Choose wisely!
