"refuse the evil and choose the good" - Isaiah 7:15

All labels such as Christian, Muslim, Jew, Hindu, Taoist, Confuciousist.... etc.... seem to be useless in the face of a powerful verse.

A powerful verse is like a beautifully cut huge diamond in front of a jeweler.  It doesn't matter who brought it, the jeweler will still admire it and want to make use of it.

This is such a simple verse from the Bible but very powerful, and gives you great possibility.  Not only that, it gives you a stark command, a stern command.

Sometimes you need to hear something stern to follow, and something simple.  It does not say to decry evil, or to denounce evil... NO.... it says to refuse evil.  Just refuse it, plain and simple.  And choose good.

Do you see the power in that? 

We should all reflect on such a statement and see how we can incorporate that into our day.
