If you search for good, you will find favor; but if you search for evil, it will find you.
– Proverbs 11:27(NLT)
SEARCH ONLY FOR THE GOOD
A poem and essay by ILMA
To those who seek the Lord and his truth
They will find favor and his teachings will take root
If you search for evil, it will find you
If you look for the good, it will renew you.
Search only for the good so you can stay out of trouble
The enemy seeks to destroy you and throw you in a rubble
Seek him and let the Lord be the first priority in your life
It will bless you and cloak you with his dazzling living light.

Proverbs 23:7 states that as a man thinks, so is he. Dr. Becca Levy, from the Yale School of Public Health, has found some extraordinary benefits of an optimistic outlook. In one study, she looked at 660 people who’d completed a survey about their attitude to aging in 1975, then correlated their responses to the ages at which they died. “We found that individuals with a more positive view of aging tended to live seven-and-a-half years longer than those with more negative views of aging,” says Dr. Levy.
The book of Proverbs suggests that you must search for the good to find favor and avoid looking for evil, for it will find it’s way to you.
PRAYER
Lord, let me always look for only the good that comes from you.
REFLECTION
Why are we advised not to search for evil? What happens when we do?

The word gave life to everything that was created and his life brought light to everyone. The light shines in the darkness and the darkness can never extinguish it. – John 1:4-5 (NLT)
THE WORD GIVES LIFE & LIGHT
A poem and essay by ILMA
The word of God has power to transform lives
It gives life and light and allows us to thrive
If you are amidst darkness and wickedness
Seek his word and you will pass the test.
God used words to give life to everything
He wants us to use it to overcome anything
Once the light has shone on darkness and evil
All will be exposed and you’ll be free from the tactics of the devil.
It must be frightening to be in a room where you can’t see even a little glimpse of light. Anything can happen in that darkness and you never know when and what will strike you. People who live in the dark are in bondage to the prince of this world, Satan.
The bible says that God created everything by breathing his word on it. His word practically gave life to all things. His word has power and can expose all the darkness because he brings light.
When you find yourself enveloped in darkness, run to his word, confess it aloud and the light will expose all evil activities lurking in it.
PRAYER
Lord, deliver me from evil.
REFLECTION
