One of the passages I came across in my devotional reading this morning is from Psalm 34, verses 12 through 16.
The teaching in this passage is quoted by the Apostle Peter in 1 Peter 3:10 - 12, reminding us that the eyes of God are always watching over the righteous, and that His ears are open to their prayers. In contrast, the face of God is set against those who do evil.
The passage tells us that we should refrain from speaking evil, and instead do good, and pursue peace in our lives. In that way, we can see good days in our lives.
- Psalm 34:12 - 16 KJV
-
12 What man is he that desireth life, and loveth many days, that he may see
good?
13 Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile.
14 Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it.
15 The eyes of the LORD are upon the righteous, and his ears are open unto their cry.
16 The face of the LORD is against them that do evil, to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth.
- 1 Peter 3:10 - 12 KJV
-
10 For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue
from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile:
11 Let him eschew evil, and do good; let him seek peace, and ensue it.
12 For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open unto their prayers: but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil.
