3 Securities in Times of Fear

Does the prevalence of evil in our society cause you to be fearful for loved ones, yourself, and even those you don’t know? Once, after speaking at a church, a mom confided in me that she feared for her child. Part of her fear was because she had been molested as a child. Part was due to the moral decline in our nation and the increase in lawlessness throughout our world. What hope was I able to give her?

Prayer. Jesus teaches us to pray in Matthew 6:13, “Do not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from evil.” We can daily pray that for others and ourselves. We can pray that for the unsaved and those who are blinded by evil. We can pray God will open their eyes and they will turn to the Truth and Light.

The Bible. The Bible is a safeguard that teaches us what to do and not to do. We can teach our children to respect and obey God and His Word which will keep them from walking in evil ways.

Eternal Salvation. We can’t escape all evil influences, but, 2 Thessalonians 3:3 comforts us that the Lord is faithful and will strengthen and protect us from the evil one. How we need this at this time!

Which of the above three could you strengthen to safeguard you, your family, and our world from evil?

Thank You, Heavenly Father, for Your Word that shows us how to live, for being able to pray to You, and for Christ’s faithfulness to strengthen and PROTECT us.

Praise to Our Protector

09/11/2017

“But the Lord is faithful, and He will strengthen and protect you from the evil one” (2 Thessalonians 3:3).

Does the amount of evil in our day ever cause you to fear for yourself or loved ones? Recently, after speaking at a church, a young mom approached me and confided that she feared for her child. Part of her fear was because she had been molested as a child. Part stemmed because of the immoral culture in which we live. What hope do we have in the day in which we live? Prayer, obedience to God’s commands, and eternal salvation.

Prayer: In the Lord’s Prayer, Jesus teaches us to pray to be delivered from evil. We ask our Heavenly Father to protect us and others; to deliver us from evil.

Obedience: The Bible is our safeguard. It instructs in the way in which we should walk. It protects us by telling us what is evil so we don’t fall for Satan’s schemes.

Eternal Salvation: We can’t escape all evil in this life. But, Jesus has provided for our eternal protection and salvation from evil by opening the path to heaven. The Lord is faithful, and He will strengthen and protect all who call on Him.

Lord, our PROTECTOR, thank you for protecting us from the evil one’s daily snares and from an eternity of evil. Help us walk wisely, strengthen, and keep us from evil.

PROTECTOR

04/12/2013

“But the Lord is faithful, and He will strengthen and protect you from the evil one.”

2 Thessalonians 3:3

Do you ever fear for your life or the lives of loved ones? Recently, after speaking at a church, a young mom approached me and confided that she feared for her child. Part of her fear was because she had been molested as a child. Part stemmed from the culture in which we live, which is increasingly immoral. What comfort can we possibly find in the day in which we live? Prayer. As Jesus instructed in the Lord’s Prayer, we ask God to deliver us from evil. We ask Him to protect us and others. 

Lord, You are faithful. I praise You for strengthening and PROTECTING us from the evil one!
