But the Lord is faithful, and he will strengthen you and protect you from the evil one. 2 Thessalonians 3:3
Wow, there’s so much bad isn’t there. There are news and people and circumstances and health and family and communication and… Soon if we’re not careful, we’re submerged an all sorts of bad we just can’t fight our way to the surface.
Praise God we serve a Lord who is faithful and protects us from the evil forces. Now isn’t that interesting. If there’s protection, why is evil, not just bad, evil all around? Why is there injustice and hunger? Why are people dying who are young, why do the elderly get forgotten? Why is it so hard to be vaccinated for those who seriously desire or need that? Why is it so hard and at times so expensive to obtain the proper medical care or medications we need?
It seems to me friends our Lord reminds us the injustice of the world will never go away. It’ll rage on like a furnace which wants to not just singe our clothing but engulf us in the endless inferno.
And yet here’s our Lord remaining faithful to us, watering the flames with his assurance and love. Here’s the Lord strengthening us with clothing which will not allow us to be singed or engulfed. Here’s God carrying us through the flames, and even being burned himself.
We must remember friends the evil is around, but it will never destroy us. Where is that inferno raging for you? Is it in a bad time you’re having, is it in or with someone else you know is in torment? Often people appear to be fine and could be in torment in areas you know nothing about. Many times you will not discuss those torments or tests for you in front of others. But praise God, he knows all around where our evil lay. And he’s there to help us not only through it, but with it, as it is happening.
My prayer is we remember, the evil is going to happen, but may we look to the great I Am, who is stronger than all of it.
May we find that inner strength we just don’t have ourselves in his strength which is perfect so we can find ultimate safety and protection in him. As we live, laugh and go through this world, is it safe? not really. But in our Lord, we have the best stronghold which will never let go of us, so let’s not let go of him.
To God be the glory
