Good or Evil, Which One Do You Imitate? Which One Do You See in The Mirror?
It is evident and is being displayed daily, the fact that people imitate evil, which is direct proof they have not seen or known God. The admonishment here is to imitate good which is proof of knowing God. We are influenced one way or another by our surroundings. If you don’t control the narrative of your life, you will be swayed by whatever’s dominating the moment of your circumstances. Temptations are all around us, and if we’re not strong in the Lord and in the power of His might, we will fall (Ephesians 6:10). When you get that eerie feeling from your gut, that’s a sign of evil’s entrance into your space. That feeling isn’t there without reason. Some people are more sensitive to that intuition than others but it can be cultivated with the word of God for a more sure discerning of His voice. God speaks to us all the time. Understanding and recognizing that gut feeling, or some call it that still small voice, can save your life. Satan has come to steal, kill, and destroy, but Jesus came to give us life, and life more abundantly (John 10:10). We can easily fall into imitating evil before we realize we’re in it. Practicing doing good is the best deterrent to evil’s invitation (Galatians 6:10). Do good, because we know the Lord, and we’re His Ambassadors. Let’s do Him proud today imitating good because we have tasted for ourselves, and can see the Lord is Good!
