One of the simplest verses in the Bible, in my opinion, happens to be one of extreme power and helpfulness. If you are a highlighter/underliner/circler or any other form of marking verses, I highly recommend you mark this one. It is found in 1 Thessalonians 5, verse 22 and it simply says, Avoid every kind of evil. I’m not sure that it can be said any simpler than that.
We are to avoid every kind of evil. Imagine how much greater our lives would be we practiced this very simple command. But note however that it doesn’t say “avoid evil”. Paul needed to add “every kind” of evil. It is everywhere and has many different varieties. It is at our jobs, at our schools, at the mall, Paul tells us to avoid it all, not just some or most of it.
As we live our lives, may we practice avoiding every kind of evil. It will be tough, but with God on our side great things can happen. Once we do that, we will see great things happen in our lives.
