If you search for good, you will find favor;
but if you search for evil, it will find you!—Proverbs 11:27 (NLT)
Heavenly Father,
Grant this day that I would encounter the favor that comes when I set my heart to search only after that which is good.
Show me that there is good to be found all around me and
help me to look for that good in every person I encounter and in each
circumstance that I face—that I might not only receive the favor of man, but
all the more, I would receive Your gracious favor in my life.
Remind me that when I
search for evil, I have walked away from Your sheltering protection—and that I
won’t find evil before it finds me, as it watches for every opportunity of
catching me unprotected, in order to try to destroy me.
Help me to stay far from
evil by only searching after things that are good—knowing that You are the
author of all things good—so that my thoughts, words and actions can be lifted
as a praise to Your glory and honor.
Grant this day that I would encounter the favor that comes when I set my heart to search only after that which is good.
In the name of Jesus,
Amen.
