Choose good

The 18th Sunday after Pentecost

Choose good instead of evil! See that justice is done. Maybe I, the Lord All-Powerful, will be kind to what’s left of your people. ~ Amos 5:15 (CEV)

But now set aside these things, such as anger, rage, malice, slander, and obscene language. Don’t lie to each other. Take off the old human nature with its practices. ~ Colossians 3:8-9 (CEB)

KEY IDEA:

Quit doing all the things associated with the old way of life and choose good.

PRAYER:

Lord All-Powerful, thank you for your outrageous undeserved kindness. I need help living the new way. The old way still tugs at me and I give into it at times. You tell me to set aside the old way of life. But I find that hard. It's a challenge. I need a powerful helper if I'm going to follow through on what I need to do. And I can't think of anyone or anything more powerful than you. So I am looking to you. Amen.
