Two Wrongs Do Not Make a Right

How many of you will agree that satan is evil?  The devil is the father of lies. Satan enjoys spreading hate.  He jumps for joy when he sees mankind is struggling or in conflict.  The devil knows if he can get people to react without thinking or praying, he can then lead them to do wrong.  Any wrong can lead to several other wrongs and can pull people further away from God's plan for them.

Can you recognize when satan is the instiagater of a situation?  Your mother may have told you "Two wrongs don't make a right."  There is Biblical truth in that statement.  If you see evil building through revenge or anger, then you know that the devil must have been at the root of it.  He continues to fan the flames with lies, hate, and misinformation.

"Make sure that no one pays back evil for evil. Instead, 

always pursue what is good for each other and for everyone else."

 - 1 Thessalonians 5:15 (ISV)

So how do you make sure you do not increase the wrong and help satan with his plans?  You look for what good can you do for others.  You choose not to slander others or help spread lies.  You pursue the right attitude to improve the situation while not escalating the problem.  If you are not sure what to do, the best thing is to pray for God's guidance.  Ask God, not a person as he/she may be easily fooled by satan.

Taking the time to pray and talk with God can heal hearts.  Healed hearts can lead to understanding each other better and improving communication with one another.  Good intentions of mankind are not enough to improve things.  However, God's love and your understanding can change the situation.
