1 Peter 3:11 (NKJV) 11 Let him turn away from evil and do good; Let him seek peace and pursue it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

When evil tries to pull on us or cause us to do something we don\u2019t want to do, this scripture directs us to \u201cturn away\u201d and do good.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

This is not easy, especially if we like what we are indulging in. It will take a change of heart.<\/p>\n

Have you ever tried to change a heart? Whoa, it\u2019s stubborn as a mule. I have never changed one on my own and probably never will. But I do know the One who can, if we are willing to let Him deal with the root of the problem.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

God changes a heart! His love digs deep and touches that very spot that needs touching.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

In order to turn away from these types of things completely, it has to be a deep-down, heartfelt turning. This means that we sincerely want nothing to do with it and we ask God for help. It has to be real in order to work.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

We will feel at times like there is a constant battle going on inside us. This is a battle between our flesh and our spirit. This is, \u201cI want it, but part of me knows it\u2019s wrong and I shouldn\u2019t”.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

There is no peace in this war. Nothing but frustration, anger and confusion. Who want’s to live like that? No, we want peace.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

How do we get it?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The verse says let him seek and pursue it. Go to God, confess to Him. Tell Him what is happening on the inside and let Him direct our steps. That peace comes when we listen and follow His steps.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

He will be straight forward with us and not beat around the bush. But we must be serious in our seeking and pursuing.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Peace should be a walk that every believer seeks and pursues daily.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Bring us peace Lord, help us get rid of the things that cause us to war within our bodies, minds, and our hearts. Help us to choose good things. Amen.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
