Thoughts for another day

Today's verse: 2 Thess. 3:3. But the Lord is faithful, who shall stablish you, and keep you from evil. (KJV)

(Pls. read the above before you read further.  Thanks)

Tired of sinning and falling into the clutches of the evil one, there’s just one solution: Adhere to the Lord and His Word for then you’ll stop sinning, maybe not all sins but substantially.  David says, ‘Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.’  Yea that’s the way to go about it my friend for then you’ll be able to resist the fiery darts of the evil one.  By your own efforts you may be able to do much in the physical realm, but in the unseen world of the spiritual, there’s not much you can do and be sure the evil one is out to get you although you may think this is a farfetched idea.

The world is reeling with evil today:  look around and see what’s happening; in every area of a man: where there has to be sanctity, there’s disrepair.  Take families, never has been the dissension and break-ups greater in families around the world than now.  Take the human factor, there never has been a time when hatred for one another has been greater than now.  Around every bend there’s something sinister waiting to pounce upon you.  There’s a drug pusher waiting to peddle his wares and tell you how wonderful you can feel if you just take it once.  There’re numerologists, tarot card readers and such kind of vermin who say they know the future, promising to make it rosy for you.  There’re black magic healers and other godmen who tell you how effectively they can banish the evil from your life, while piling you with evil that just will not leave you.  There’re people out there who will plunder your wealth at the least opportunity; thus have people lost their hard earned savings and their little wealth they kept for the not so good times.  If anyone thinks that it’s not so, then he is prime target for lurking around is just someone who is aware that you trust the world. 

Now what’re we the children of light to do with the menacing evil in the world…We need to be steadfast in our faith in God and sit at His feet surrendering everything into His massive power.  When we do this, the faithful Lord works in our favor and establishes us in our offices, our communities, etc.  He keeps us from all harm and we find that His Grace keeps us from sin too.  So just put on the cloak of faith in God and be firm.  Nothing will happen to you that is evil.
