Evil
does not occur by happenstance. Evil is a deliberate power force whose mission is to possess and destroy anyone
who submits to its enticements. Anton Chekhov wrote in 1887 that "evil
passions are as inherent in life as are good ones." Those who close their
eyes and ears to evil do not distract from its penetration or its grasp on
people.
The Irish politician Edmund Burke
wrote, "It is necessary only for the good man to do nothing for evil to
triumph." Surviving and defeating evil takes courage, courage to put on
the armor of God to stand up against the Devil's evil tricks. The shield of
faith which God provides for you deflects Satan's evil darts that he hurls your
way.
The
shield of faith proves that God stands with you against Satan, which is
affirmed by 1 John 4:4: "Greater is he who is in you, than he who is in
the world." The shield of faith enables you to reject evil thoughts and
impulses by petitioning Christ Jesus to intervene on your behalf. This choice
saves you from hurt and suffering. God bless you as you face this challenge.
