"Don't"

Good Morning Father,

Day 9 of the 21 Days of prayer and fasting. Today, "I FOCUS". What should be my focus in this season of my life? As I meditate on the suggested text in Romans 12. For the first time in quite awhile, my eyes kept going to the things I should not be doing/focusing. The "don't" and the "never"! Being the optimist that I am, my focus is seldom on this part of the text. However; TODAY, in this season...I discern that these powerful reminders magnify for good reason!

• Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world
• Don’t think you are better than you really are
• Don’t just pretend to love others
• Never be lazy
• Don’t curse them (people who curse you)
• Don’t be too proud to enjoy the company of ordinary people
• Don’t think you know it all! 
• Never pay back evil with more evil
• Never take revenge
• Don’t let evil conquer you...

Thoughts?
