The devil is an expert at diverting our attention. He is a master of deceit and is called in scripture the father of all lies (John 8:44). Thankfully, he has no power over a child of God, unless he chooses to allow the devil to bring something against you as a means of bolstering your faith. Our faith and trust in God must be unshakable. It must never waver.
The COVID-19 pandemic is an event that will scare the wits out of you if you let it. The devil has succeeded in some regions of the country to terrorize people into not leaving their homes. Now I am not promoting that we exhibit a cavalier attitude, acting as if we’re not in a serious health crisis. We are indeed, but the stress that is generated by abject fear will lower your immune system’s ability to combat sickness. Scripture tells us not to worry, for worrying will not add one day to your life (Luke 12:25).
Don’t let the devil distract you. Keep your focus squarely set on Christ. It is HE that can rescue you from the fire. It is HE that can save your soul from hell. The devil destroys, the Lord re-establishes and restores. All it takes is a matter of minutes, sometimes even mere seconds to tear apart all you have built throughout your life. That isn’t God’s plan for you. Seek him, trust him and live for him. Until next time, walk with the King and be a blessing! rlkeller
John 8:44 “For you are the children of your father the devil, and you love to do the evil things he does. He was a murderer from the beginning. He has always hated the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, it is consistent with his character; for he is a liar and the father of lies.”
Luke 12:25 “Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to your life?”
