Righteousness for Evil

"Seek the Lord while He may be found; call on Him while He is near, let the wicked forsake his ways and the evil man his thoughts.  Let him turn to the Lord, and He will have mercy on him, and to our God, for He will freely pardon. 

You will go out in joy and be led forth in peace; the mountains and hills will burst into song before you, and all the trees of the field will clap their hands.  Instead of the thorn bush will grow the pine tree, and instead of briers the myrtle will grow.  This will be for the Lord's renown, for an everlasting sign, which will not be destroyed."

Isaiah 54: 6-7, 12-13


Seek the Lord today, follow Him and do His will.  He is near to us today, waiting for us to call out to Him. Pray that He would bless Buffalo in this way.  That instead of hatred, poverty and corruption, righteousness, love and forgiveness would grow.  That we would be an everlasting sign to the nations of God's great love, mercy, and power.  Praise the Lord with all you have.  Follow Him wherever He may lead.  Forgive those who have wronged you and pray for their good.  Show the world how to live God's way- they will know we are Christians by our love!

Pray also for the wicked that they would forsake their evil thoughts for the Lord and His ways which lead to everlasting life.  That the trap they are caught in would crumble and they would see the truth.  Pray for those with hardened hearts and whose eyes and ears are shut.  Pray for those that you have never prayed for before.  Begin to bless them and ask God to work in His way. For our fight is not against flesh and blood, but against principalities and powers of darkness (Eph. 6:12).  Therefore holding grudges and harboring anger for their works will not help anything. We need to pray that God's will would be done in their lives also, and that the evil would be stopped so that goodness and righteousness can prevail.
