God
never overlooks an assault of evil on anyone. Evil is the enemy of each person
called to serve Christ, so survival depends on our willingness to repudiate the
assaults of evil. Choose to overcome evil by permitting God to empower you with
his Spirit. God does battle with evil by being your defense when Satan attacks.
It sounds absurd to hesitate to choose
God as an ally in the battle against evil. Yet evil doesn't always appear
dangerous to our spiritual, emotional, or physical well-being. Evil can be
deceptive by appearing as a "wolf in sheep's clothing." Ephesians
6:11 tell us how to stand against evil. "Put on the full armor of God so
you can take your stand against the devil's schemes."
Facing
down and surviving evil with integrity requires your full participation. Face
the truth about evil for the truth will set you free. Christ Jesus empowers you
with clarity of mind and his presence for choosing what will save you from evil.
It's not too late to make that choice.
