3 His divine power has given us everything we need for a godly life through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness. 4 Through these he has given us his very great and precious promises, so that through them you may participate in the divine nature, having escaped the corruption in the world caused by evil desires. 2 Peter 1:3-4
I see evil in the world take center stage every day thanks to the world of social media and technology. In the past, we would sometimes hear about something that happened on the other side of the world several days or even weeks after it happened. Now with technology, you can see almost instantaneously things that are happening on the other side of the world or even within our own area. It is hard to see these things take center stage at times, and even harder to deal with the constant onslaught of the enemy taking over people's lives. So, how do I deal with the constant attack of the enemy and what is seen in the world? Well, first I don't need to do it on my own, and second as the scripture says God has given us everything we need to live a godly life. Whether it be stopping everything to say a quick prayer, taking a moment to read a scripture, or stopping to listen to some music, all these things can move us away from the evil that is out there. It may still be out there, but the calming spirit of our Father-in-Heaven can make an immediate and long-lasting difference. So, when we are bombarded daily with the evil of this world, prepare for the day by having a plan before you walk out the door of what you will do to keep the enemy out of our mind and day. By doing this, you will smash evil from the moment you walk out the door as long as you rely on our Father and His guide.
Have a great weekend.
Matt
