The evil one is in control

People seem to be doing worse and worse things all the time. I don't know what goes through people's minds when they are plotting some of the things they end up doing but I can tell you that it seems to be ever growing worse and worse.

Maybe it is that years ago we didn't have all the media coverage and such. Maybe just as much happened but we were sheltered from most of it. All of that may be true but people do seem to be getting worse and worse. There is something said about all of this in the Bible...

Today's word is from 1 John 5:19, NIV, which reads, "We know that we are children of GOD, and that the whole world is under the control of the evil one."

This verse tells us that things continue to get worse and worse because the WHOLE world is under the control of the evil one. There is nowhere we can go to escape the evils of this world because the evil one has control of this world. BUT...

The first part of the verse is the part for us. It reads that we KNOW that we are children of GOD! While we are affected and influenced by the evil that others perpetrate, we can rest assured that we are children of GOD and He has us covered; He has our back.

Look, the evil one is in control of this world but he doesn't control my destiny - I am a child of GOD!

Be Blessed,
