We should take the same approach.
“14Seek good, and not evil, that you may live; and so the Lord, the God of hosts, will be with you, as you have said. 15Hate evil, and love good, and establish justice in the gate; it may be that the Lord, the God of host, will be gracious to the remnant of Joseph.” – Amos 5:14-15 (ESV)
God does it and clearly tells us to do the same in these verses. You will notice the words that are said, “seek good, and not evil”, “hate evil, and love good”. As children of God, why is it that we do not obey this simple commandment? It may seem that is what is happening in the world, with all of the social causes that take center stage, but I would argue that in the world today, there is a drive to “seek my agenda, and hate the people that think differently”.
Why is it so hard for the world to “seek good, and not evil”? Satan is influencing our thinking in the world. He is grabbing ahold of every morsel of evil and bringing it to the front of mind to wage war.
Where are your opportunities to seek good? When you look into situations, where are you hating the evil in them and loving (or looking for) the good in them? Are we acting as God to “hate evil, and love good”?
