Trouble Along The Way
“Many evils confront the [consistently] righteous, but the Lord delivers him out of them all”. The righteous person may have many troubles, but the Lord delivers him from them all. The enemy of Christ, does not take a liking to us at all. He wants to kill, steal, and destroy, that’s been his M. O. from the day he hit the earth, to get back at God by coming for His children. God has equipped us for battle in this world by giving us His all powerful word to use against Satan. The text reads; ” the (consistently) righteous person…..”. The enemy is always looking for a way into that unprotected part of our lives that hasn’t quite been developed yet. God can and will deliver us from all evil. Jesus prayed, Father, don’t take them out of the world, but help them live above the evil in the world. The troubles have a purpose in our lives, but only that which God allows to come your way. Without the troubles or storms, we can’t grow in faith. Faith is everything when it comes to God, as the crisis, or troubles of life drive people straight to God.
