DO
NOT SPEAK EVIL OF ONE ANOTHER
Do
not speak evil of one another, brethren. James
4:11[NKJV]
A
"One Anothering" Thought
Evil
means:
- morally wrong or bad; immoral
- harmful; injurious:
- marked by anger, irritability
Since we are believers
we should not be doing things which God would consider morally
wrong or bad, harmful or injurious , to anyone, but especially
to our brethren.
We all get angry or irritable sometimes and
that is not necessarily evil unless it is deliberately meant to
cause harm or injury.
ONE-ANOTHERING IN ACTION:
I
think we as believers know that we need to practice good and not
evil.
Every day we should seek to fill ourselves with the good
news of God's word so there will be no room for anything evil
to infiltrate our lives.
We need to let the light of Christ shine in
us so bright that no amount of darkness can penetrate
us.
Then we will be speaking good and not evil, to our brethren
and also to the world.
For,"Whoever would love life and
see good days must keep his tongue from evil and his lips from
deceitful speech. He must turn from evil and do good; he must
seek peace and pursue it.
1 Peter 3:10-11
[NKJV]
This
is the last Devotional in the "One-Anothering" series. I hope this Devotional helped you to see how the Lord wants His people to treat each other.
Tomorrow we
will start a new Devotional called: "Attitude of
Gratitude".
This 30 day Devotional will bring a scripture of
thanks and a prayer of gratitude, which will help to keep us
grateful for each day the Lord gives us. I hope you will join me in this.
