"Seek good, and not evil, that ye may live: and so the Lord, the God of hosts, shall be with you, as ye have spoken." (Amos 5:14, KJV)
Today, in most gospel meetings, the focus is primarily on messages of blessing. Many ministries advertise "Blessing Fasting Prayers" and invite people to attend, claiming that everyone who participates will be blessed. However, today’s meditation verse reminds us that this approach is flawed.
We cannot receive God’s blessings simply by attending gospel meetings organized by ministers. Fasting, or abstaining from food, does not guarantee that God will bless us. Reading devotionals like “Aathavan” Scripture Meditations or attending prayer meetings alone cannot earn us God’s blessings. Neither can reading the Bible or participating in devotional gatherings secure God’s favour.
Yes, dear friends, as today’s meditation verse says, "Seek good, and not evil, that ye may live: and so the Lord, the God of hosts, shall be with you, as ye have spoken." If we attend church services and gospel meetings, worship God, but fail to transform our personal lives and continue walking in sinful ways, God cannot be with us or work through us.
This is why the Apostle Paul urges us not to be empty worshippers but to offer ourselves as living sacrifices, which is our reasonable service. First and foremost, we must surrender ourselves as holy and acceptable living sacrifices to God. "I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service." (Romans 12:1, KJV)
Without surrendering ourselves as holy and pleasing living sacrifices to God and engaging in reasonable worship, one may still participate in various religious activities. Regularly attending church, praying, and reading the Bible are commendable, but if we think that God is with us solely because of these actions, we are mistaken. Through today’s meditation verse, God speaks to us: "Seek good, and not evil, that ye may live: and so the Lord, the God of hosts, shall be with you, as ye have spoken."
For God to be with us, we must examine ourselves. How does our life stand before God? What are our personal actions like? Let us first strive to correct our wrongdoings. Let us repent of our sins and seek forgiveness from God. Then, as we think and speak, the Lord, the God of hosts, will be with us.
