Let those who love The Lord hate evil, for He guards the lives of His faithful ones and delivers them from the hand of the wicked.

Psalm 97:10 NIV Bible

It's the simple truth. If we love God, we hate evil. We cannot say that we truly love God and continue to dabble in things that are evil and displeasing to Him. To love God is to obey Him and this assures us of His guidance, protection and deliverance. This is the confidence that we can have as children of Almighty God. When we look at Daniel's life, we see that he remained true and faithful to God, refusing to compromise his beliefs and was thrown in the lion's den for not giving in. Because of his love and obedience, God delivered him. 

We, as His children have to hate the very appearance of evil. It lurks in every corner and is all around us. We have to develop a discerning spirit, because things that are wrong are made to appear attractive and good and many are enticed by it. To be like God, we must love what He loves and hate what He hates and His Word is our guide. We may be ostracized and even persecuted for standing up for truth and righteousness, but we have the assurance that God will deliver us from the hands of those who may be out to harm or destroy us. We need to continually ask God to fill us with His love and strength so that we will be able to cling to what is good and hate the very appearance of evil.

Thank you, Lord for Your love and faithfulness. Help me Lord, to love the things that You love and hate the things that You hate. Let me cling to what is good, pure and wholesome. My desire is that You will find me faithful. I love you, Jesus. Amen!

Be Blessed!
