For Those Who Believe

You are on dangerous ground when you view the enemy’s work and then take the Lord to task for it.   There is a flaw—and it is a huge flaw—in your logic.  All things come by God's hand to those who belong to Him; to those who have professed faith in Him.  For this age, the evil that occurs outside the  fold of the Most Holy God belongs to the enemy.  You belong to the Lord; you are God's own, bought with a price.  For you to suffer fear for yourself in response to reports of evil in the world hurts His heart; do you not know of the power of His protective love?  The Holy Spirit dwells within you and in-breathes your prayers for your loved ones, the same power that raised Christ from the dead in you, around you, protecting you, guiding you and yours. Do not be afraid.   


Scripture:  "I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints,  and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is like the working of his mighty strength,  which he exerted in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms,  far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every title that can be given, not only in the present age but also in the one to come. And God placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the church, which is his body, the fullness of him who fills everything in every way" (Ephesians 1:18-21).
