Why to dally on imagining evil? This deceit can make us eat Ha-Satan’s dish!
• “Deceit is in the heart of them that imagine evil: but to the counsellors of peace is joy.” (Pro 12:20).
With so many good things to learn and keep in mind in order to be useful in Jesus’ hands, why to waste time imagining things that only will dirt and hurt our soul and spirit?
Eve ate of the prohibited fruit because she “saw” (imagined) that something good could come outside the Creator:
• “And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasing to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make wise, she took of its fruit, and ate. She also gave to her husband with her, and he ate.” (Gen 3:6)
People condemned Jesus just because they imagined vain things:
• “who by the mouth of Your servant David has said, "Why did the nations rage and the people imagine vain things? The kings of the earth stood up, and the rulers were gathered together against the Lord and against His Christ."” (Act 4:25,26).
In Proverbs, the person is made into what they imagine:
• “for as he thinks in his heart, so is he; Eat and drink, he says to you, but his heart is not with you.” (Pro 23:7).
In Psalms 135.15-18 it is said that the person turns into the images that they idolize:
• “Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men's hands. They have mouths, but they do not speak; they have eyes, but they do not see; they have ears, but they do not hear; they have noses, but they do not smell; they have hands, but they do not handle; they have feet, but they do not walk; they do not mutter through their throat. The ones who make them are like them, and everyone who trusts in them.” (Psalms 115:5-8).
So, don’t allow the deceit make you to lose your time with evil people or things that not even deserve to have a little room in your heart. Be a counsellor of peace in Christ and have a good day walking with your beautiful feet (Rom 10:15) on on serpents and scorpions, and over all the authority of the enemy (Luke 10:19). With a pure and holy heart, nothing shall by any means hurt you.
