My dear friends, God has decided to protect and elevate you from all evil. God allows evil in this world, and even in the midst of evil, He reveals His power in our lives and gives us the strength to rise above evil and overcome it. Be brave. Evil will not destroy you. Evil will not touch you. Though evil may surround you and its power may seem to increase, God reveals the power of His protection in the midst of it. We read in Psalm 121:7, “The Lord will keep you from all harm; He will watch over your life.” Whatever evil comes, God will protect your soul so that it will not be corrupted. God will protect you. Even if a man gains the whole world but loses his soul, what benefit will he receive? Therefore, our soul must be united with God. It must be holy. That is important. After death, the soul must be united with God. There is holiness in heaven. There is no worldly marriage or worldly pleasure in heaven. Everyone will be united with God and will be like the angels. The Bible says so, and Jesus has said so. Therefore, we must receive God’s grace and live a holy life. 

Look at the Word of God. God delivers us from the evil of this world so that we can protect our souls. May God give you that grace today and protect you. According to Proverbs 13:20, “Walk with the wise and become wise, for a companion of fools suffers harm.” Those who are spiritually blind can easily be caught in the evil of this world. But God allows us to walk with the wise and gain wisdom. True wisdom is the fear of God. The fear of God means devotion to God. The fear of God brings wisdom. We should not walk according to the ways of the world, nor should we stand in the path of sinners.

Some people may be wise according to worldly standards, but they may still be involved in sinful habits. Once, a collector told me, “Why should all the students pray? We should pray for the grace of God. We all studied engineering. We drink, we eat, and we experience drugs. That is life. That is student life. But are we not successful? Don’t we have wisdom?” However, the very next day, the government dismissed him from that position. Until the end, he was not given a higher position. I do not know where he is now. Therefore, we must be very careful.

Yes, there is worldly wisdom. But if there is no fear of God, it is of no use. Only when we have the fear of God will we receive the grace to shine like the stars in the sky. God will give you this grace. Everyone will rejoice in your light. God will save you from evil and help you love Him. God will give you the grace to love Him, walk with Him, and live in harmony with others. He will deliver you from evil and give you the grace to walk according to His ways.

In Genesis 50:20, Joseph says to his brothers, “You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good.” His brothers had planned evil against him. They sold him as a slave, and he was taken to another country. But God was with him. God blessed Joseph and raised him to a high position, like a king, so that he could save many people. Joseph told his brothers, “You tried to do evil to me, but God turned it into good.” God changed everything for good. Jeremiah 29:11 says, “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”

My beloved, God knows the thoughts and plans concerning you. They are not for evil, but for peace, hope and a blessed future. He will deliver His children from evil, help them walk with the wise, and make them a light to many.

PRAYER: 
Dear Lord, protect me from every evil and keep my soul holy before You. Give me the grace to walk with the wise and grow in true wisdom through the fear of God. Help me not to follow worldly ways or sinful paths. Turn every evil planned against me into good, just as You did for Joseph. Give me the grace to love You, walk with You, and become a light to many. Let Your plans of peace, hope, and a blessed future be fulfilled in my life. Strengthen me to serve You faithfully and bless every opportunity to serve others. In Jesus’ name, I pray, Amen.
