No Evil Shall Happen
“There shall no evil happen to the just:” - Proverbs 12.21
Do you ever find times when you just need a Promise?
Times when your heart is seeking something from the Lord to help? Sometimes it’s a decision, sometimes it’s just reassurance that the Lord is in control – that God knows what is going on? He knows what I need, better than I know myself?
“There shall no evil happen to the just:”
The word “just” means someone who knows the Lord, someone who has been “justified”, someone who is saved, a Christian. One who stands before Almighty God “just as if I’d” never sinned – because of Christ’s sacrifice.
There are certainly a lot of things that happen in our Christian life, and some are very challenging and difficult but - “There shall no evil happen to the just:”
Sometimes we don’t feel we pray enough, or get enough out of our Bible reading but - “There shall no evil happen to the just:”
There are times we handle a situation badly or just say the wrong thing, at the wrong time, to the wrong person but - “There shall no evil happen to the just:”
Whatever may happen – whether we can make any sense of it, here is a great, reassuring Promise, “There shall no evil happen to the just:”!
Run with patience,
Pastor
