DAY 66 – WELL PROTECTED ------------------------------------- If we are believers in Christ, we are sent into the world like sheep in the midst of wolves – defenceless and in danger, but there is no power in the whole world that can destroy the chosen disciples of Christ. Weak as they are, they are able to destroy the strength of their enemies. There are more sheep in the world now than wolves. They appear to be weak, but there is a force in them which cannot be put down. There will come a time when they will overcome the ungodly, those who flatly and defiantly refuse the grace of God in Christ Jesus. The day will come when mighty truth shall prevail. For now, though we are persecuted in various ways, we are not forsaken. Though we are cast down, but we are not destroyed. Most believers are placed in positions where they are subject to very great temptations and persecutions. Others are mocked, laughed at, ridiculed and called by evil names. Will you, because of these treatments, deny your faith? Are you going to put aside your faith in Jesus Christ? If you are, then you are not made of the same stuff that true disciples of Jesus Christ are made of. When the grace of God is upon his children, they can bear all the blows which the world may put on them. Though we are called to serve the LORD under great difficulties, there is no need to fear. Be strong in the power of the Holy Spirit. In the midst of all the dangers in this world, the love of God is always within us like a fire that cannot be quenched.
