We see so much evil going on all around us. Why does God allow it? He has his reasons but one thing we do know is that he gives us a free will. He does not force himself on us. But someday, he will take care of the evil that is going on around us. And his vengeance will be great for those that do not know him.
As Christians however, we do have the promise of Deuteronomy 31:6. And that is not the only one we can meditate on when we are going through something that is fearful.
The Lord is faithful and he will strengthen you and protect you from the evil one. 2 Thessalonians 3:3
But let all who trust in you rejoice, let them sing joyful praises forever. Spread your protection over them, that all that love you may be filled with joy. Psalm 5:11
He will give his angels charge over you, to guard you in all your ways. Psalm 91:11.
David of the Bible had good reason to fear when his enemy was trying to track him down to kill him. Some of his Psalms were written during this time period. Hopefully, we have never had to experience that kind of fear, but we can benefit from his writings when we are going through our own situations that cause anxiety and fear. God wants to give us peace and the way we do that is to keep our minds constantly on Him. Philippians 4:7
Isn't that the kind of peace this world needs? Isn't that the kind of peace you and I need? We have God's promises. Really, what more do we need? I hope you have his peace because this world is crazy and getting crazier. What more can we do but depend on God to keep us from going crazy ourselves? I don't know about you but I opt tto depend on God to keep me in the peace that much of this world has no understanding of. How about you? Do you opt for that kind of peace as well? I truly hope so.
Thanks for your visit today Friends. Have a blessed day!
