Seek good and not evil,
that you may live;
and so the Lord, the God of hosts, will be with you,
just as you have said.
Hate evil and love good,
and establish justice in the gate....
Amos 5: 14 - 15
Every day, hate evil and love good. It isn't so difficult to understand, is it? Just not that complicated.
This is what it means to seek good and not evil. I have not run across anything like this in other ancient writings although it may exist. It is a beautiful, righteous message that God gave to the Hebrew people and then to us:
Hate evil and love good,
and establish justice in the gate....
Every day.
