Peter continues to show us in 1 Peter 3:10-12 how to prepare for the best and experience blessings in the worst of times. Let us open our Bibles:
1 Peter 3:10-12: For "He who would love life and see good days, Let him refrain his tongue from evil, And his lips from speaking deceit. Let him turn away from evil and do good; Let him seek peace and pursue it. For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, And His ears are open to their prayers; But the face of the Lord is against those who do evil."
My friend, Peter was urging his readers to take a positive approach to life and by faith make the most of every situation. It is an attitude of faith that sees the best in every situation.
Peter shows us four steps to loving and enjoying life:
1: refrain your tongue from evil (v.10)
2: turn away from evil and do good (v.11)
3: seek peace and pursue it (v.11)
4: remember the source of life, the Lord Himself (v.12)

Over the next few posts we will delve into these four steps in more depth. I look forward to studying God’s Word with you.
