Our Scripture reading today is 3 John 11, "Beloved, follow not that which is evil, but that which is good.
He that doeth good is of God: but he that doeth evil hath not seen God."
What are you following after? Who or what are you allowing to have influence over
your life? It is vital that we only allow people to influence us who are walking with
the LORD. This should also be the case for our children. The old saying is quite
true, "Garbage in; garbage out." Something we should be praying for regularly is
discernment. It is important that we live above thinking something isn't that bad, so
we will do it. Does this activity or relationship please the LORD? This is the way we
should measure our decisions.
"The high road is not choosing between the good and the bad. It is choosing between the good and the
best and always choosing the best. The best is the unending pursuit of Jesus Christ." -Clarence Sexton
