Stay Out of The
Devil's Orchard
“Now we exhort you, brethren, warn them that are unruly, comfort the
feebleminded, support the weak, be patient toward all men. See that none render
evil for evil unto any man; but ever follow that which is good, both among
yourselves, and to all men. Rejoice evermore. Pray without ceasing. In every
thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.
Quench not the Spirit. Despise not prophesyings. Prove all things; hold fast
that which is good. Abstain
from all appearance of evil. And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly;
and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto
the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.” (1 Thessalonians 5:14-23)
Today’s Morsel: They say that
if you do not want the fruit of sin in your life, then stay out of the devil’s
orchard. Why do Christians think that they can partake of the devils’
fruit trees, play in his garden, and not display his fruit in their
lives? God warned Adam and Eve to not partake of the tree of the
knowledge of good and evil. Because in the day that they did, they would
die. But they did not listen. There are always severe consequences
for sin. Paul said, “What? know ye not that he which is joined to
an harlot is one body? for two, saith he, shall be one flesh.” (1 Corinthians
6:16) If you join yourself to anything that is sinful, it will be
revealed in your life. Therefore, abstain from all appearance of evil.
Sing: Turn your eyes upon Jesus, look
full in His wonderful face. And the things of earth will go strangely
dim, in the light of His glory and grace.
Thought For Today: If you do not
want the fruit of sin in your life, then stay out of the devil’s orchard.
God bless you brother!
