A Daily Devotional About affirming Jesus when
evil strikes�. Psalm 85: 4 Restore us
again, O God our Savior, and put away your displeasure toward us. 5 Will you be
angry with us forever? Will you prolong your anger through all generations? 6
Will you not revive us again, that your people may rejoice in you? 7 Show us
your unfailing love, O LORD, and grant us your salvation. (NIV) When evil strikes, one of the
last things most people think to do is to affirm Jesus. For when evil strikes,
the purpose of evil is to get you to doubt, to wonder if Jesus is or was real,
and to question the existence of God. Evil wants you to affirm you do not know
what you believe. However, when evil strikes, you must remember in the life of
Christ evil tried to destroy Him at the beginning of His life. Later on, evil
tried to foment evil ideas in the minds of leaders and rulers during His
ministry. Finally, at the end of our Lord's earthly life, evil struck one last
horrible blow by torturing and crucifying our Lord. So it isn't as if Jesus does
not know about you and about your life when evil strikes. He knows all too well
what life is like in the depths of your despair when evil comes against you.
However, Jesus came back. Jesus overcame. Jesus won out. Jesus wants and expects
you to come back, to overcome, and to win out as you call upon Him every hour. |
