Depart from fear of evil, and understand good; and dwell for evermore.

“Depart from evil, and do good; and dwell for evermore.” * Let’s add another strong  dimension of thought to this scriptural instruction: Depart from fear of evil, and understand the power and presence of good, God, and dwell for evermore. The  Message Bible says “Turn your back on evil, work for the good and don’t quit.”

Today the world seems overrun with experiences of evil, hurricanes, fires, floods, wars. Each one of us is praying earnestly, and with conviction, to understand the power of the presence of God, good right where evil seems to be.  As we each see the unreality of evil, we will see the reality of God, ever-present good. Find this good in your life, acknowledge the good that God is, and reach out with your prayer to embrace our world, to understand the government of our Father-Mother for each and everyone. Let’s love God good, more than we are tempted to fear evil.

Let’s do this today and realize everyone is in the wake of divine Love, right where the fear is. We can do as Mrs. Eddy did in the face of storms, – she would pray to see the face of God until that was all she saw, and the storm could dissipate. Let’s see God, good, the face of God, right where evil claims to be. Let’s do this loving prayer today.

*Psalms 37:27
