Evil
has the capacity to invade every area of life, as it did for Adam and Eve in
the garden of Eden. Human beings seem to have a propensity toward evil. Although
we don't like to discuss it, it’s obvious that evil is a major contender for
the heart and soul of every person.
Numbers 25 relates how Israel turned away
from God and toward evil. Listen to The Living Bible. "While Israel was
camped at Acacia, some of the young men began going to wild parties with the
local Moabite girls. These girls invited them to attend sacrifices to their
gods. Before long all of Israel was joining freely in the worship of Baal, and
the anger of the Lord turned hot against them." Isn’t it amazing how the
young people influenced the adults?
It's apparent that guarding one's heart and soul
against evil is a lifetime endeavor. As you begin this new year, turn your
heart, your soul, your behaviors, as well as your love and affection toward
Christ Jesus. What better way to secure God’s blessings? Happy New Year.
