We should
try to stay as far away from evil as possible—and certainly not engage in any
evil practices. Don’t be tempted to succumb to evil deeds. No temptation has overtaken you but such as is common to man; and God
is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but
with the temptation will provide the way of escape also, so that you will be
able to endure it. 1 Corinthians 10:13 Proverbs gives us some good guidance
on evil.
For there
will be no future for the evil man; the lamp of the wicked will be put out. Proverbs 24:20
Do not say,
"Thus I shall do to him as he has done to me; I will render to the man
according to his work." Proverbs 24:29
Do not say,
"I will repay evil"; wait for the LORD, and He will save you. Proverbs 20:22.
God will
repay people…we don’t need to take things into our hands. For we know Him who said, "Vengeance is mine, I will repay."
and again, "the Lord will judge His people." Hebrews 10:30. It
may be hard to let go of things that we feel deserve punishment. It isn’t up to
us, the Lord will punish those He feels deserve His justice. We are to act
honorably—to treat others as we would treat Jesus Himself—even if we don’t feel
they deserve. Do you feel that your actions are honorable—worthy of the Lord?
Prayer ~ Holy Spirit, create once again in me once
again a clean heart and renew a right spirit in me that everything I think,
say, and do would be honorable. Protect me, my family and friends from evil practices
and situations that occur in life. Help us not to even want to pay back evil
for evil.
Friday’s Feast at the
Lord’s Table
My
daughter-in-law’s favorite “cake” for her birthday can actually be considered
an ice cream pie. Here’s the one I made for her special day this year.
Reese’s Peanut Butter Pie
1 package
Oreo cookies, crushed or grated in the food processor
1 cube of
unsalted butter, softened
2 cartons of
Reese’s Peanut Butter ice cream, slightly softened
1 bag of
large Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup candy bars, frozen, and crushed
Chocolate fudge
sauce
Cool Whip or
canned whipped cream
Mix soft
butter and crushed cookies. Press into a 9X12 inch glass casserole dish. Freeze
for a few minutes. Cut one carton of ice cream in about ½ inch slices and
spread evenly over cookie crust. Top with crushed candy. Spread remaining
carton of ice cream over the crushed candy. Freeze until firm, several hours or
overnight. Drizzle with chocolate fudge sauce. Garnish with whipped cream, or
dollops of Cool Whip. Freeze again, or serve immediately. Enjoy!
Happy Birthday,
Melissa!
