Bible Reading: Ps. 97, 98 & 99; Romans 16
“You that love the LORD, hate evil: He preserveth the souls of His Saints; He delivereth them out of the hand of the wicked” – Psalm 97:10 (KJV).
Those who claim to love God will be tested by how much they resist, reject and work against evil while living on earth. People whose lives have been truly transformed or changed to be more like Christ, who are spiritually united with Christ and His Holy Spirit working through them, will love what God loves and hate what He hates.
We are not wrong to be angry about the wickedness, brutality and ungodliness in the world and grieved by how much evil is destroying countless lives. In addition, we should be deeply distressed when sin and immorality are tolerated in Gods house and among God’s people.
Prayer: Father, let me be truly and continuously be purified by the fire of your holiness.
