Evil - you face evil each day and don't even realize it!!

Good morning all. God is good all the time, all the time God is good.  TOO BLESSED TO BE STRESSED!!!
  FACES OF EVIL!!!  Exactly what are the faces of evil?   We think of evil as being satan. Who is satan? Lucifer, a once arch angel, who was by historical reference called - "Light Bearer." Also, the planet Venus in its appearance as the morning star.  So, something dealing with "light" or, we might possibly say something bright, shiny, and pleasing.
    Weeellllll,  that is the way he, lucifer, satan, comes - as something we that is pleasing to us.
ROMANS 12:21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good. 
 Think about this--many things we have are created that can be good or evil - depending on how we use them.   A gun for instance- used to obtain game to eat is good; used to kill people is evil.  I will do more in a moment.
Romans 12:9  Let love be genuine. Abhor what is evil; hold fast to what is good.
 We should love what is good, be genuine and hate evil.  Do we do this, or do we continue to hold on to that evil which feels good?   Example:  Drinking alcohol in modest stints is not evil, but in some forms can become evil by drinking too much and being out of control either physically, with the mouth, or mentally. What do you hold on to that mutates from good to evil?
James 4:7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
 Do you really submit to God?  Do you really resist the devil?    Does he, in fact, flee from you?  Or do you keep him around because it "feels good"?
1 John 3:8 Whoever makes a practice of sinning is of the devil, for the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the works of the devil. 
 Practice does make perfect.  Do you remain in the practice of sinning?   Let me throw some items out that may be either good or bad - depending on how you use them.
   Facebook - don't tell everything that happens on facebook - create a blog or journal for the more personal and private things.  Once in cyber space always in cyber space.
   Twitter - once it is cast out there, especially without thinking it through, it is there forever and you will reap what you have sown.
   Texting - what you say has no expression and can be taken various ways.  Call and talk or meet face to face, then you will develop a true relationship.
   All the other social media - bah hum bug - and I do like technology - but we can easily forget what God wants us to do - build relationships, plant seeds, and share the kingdom of God with all we come in contact with.  We tend to idolize the "THINGS OF THIS WORLD" rather than GOD THE FATHER!!
John 3:16,17 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.
   Put away the toys of the world for a moment, pick up your Bible and truly read, take time to pray.  Try praying for 60 seconds and reading your Bible for 4 minutes.  The "I don't have time" excuse is just that-- an excuse, a rationale for you to do "something of the world."  Am I trying to guilt you into turning back to God?  If you feel that way, the guilt is already on you and you are just now realizing it.
   Take time, spend time, be still and listen.  Love you all.
In Christ's Love and Grace
