All the days of the afflicted are evil, but he who is of a merry heart has a continual feast. Proverbs 15.15

As we examine the Word of God, we see that humanity is divided in two main groups: the saved and the lost, the wise and the fool, the afflicted and the merry. The way in which we live shows which of these groups we belong to. The decisions that we make here in this life will determine our destiny for all eternity.

Those who do not worry with what will happen to them after death belong to the group of the afflicted. Belonging to this group is very sad, for all their days are evil. For those who do not have faith in Jesus, there is no way to stop the evil one from acting in their lives. The saved ones are guided and protected by the Lord at all times. Now those who reject God’s plan are oppressed by the destroyer not only because of their evil works, but also because of what happened in Eden, when the devil deceived Adam and Eve.

The afflicted suffers because of everything, and whenever the devil wants. He is restless, and though he may make plans for his life, he discovers that the enemy and driver of his life is cunning, evil, and sagacious. Therefore, there is no peace for those who are not freed from the kingdom of darkness. Even when the afflicted fights to achieve his purposes, seeking to have better days, his plans never come true. This is because he does not control his own life, but is a servant of the evil one.

Everything that happens to men comes from the goodness of God or from the perversity of the demon. Those who do the divine will are assisted by the Holy Spirit, and that is why even when they sleep, the Lord prepares their bread. Now those who remain in rebellion to the Creator’s plan, although they might aim at what is best and strive to accomplish it, nothing good will happen to them. There will be no escape from the evil wrath if they are not part of God’s family.

As a person understands the Word and decides to truly convert, his heart is overwhelmingly joyful. He discovers what he was looking for, but had not found it before. Those who accept the faith in Jesus leave death – Satan’s nature – and move to the Kingdom of God. Then, the saved person begins to live with a merry heart. Salvation frees us completely from Satan’s area of operation.

For the saved, the promise is that they will have a continual feast. No one who has received Christ must be conformed in living outside of this feast, once they have the guarantee from the Father that there will be no interruption to it. See if this has happened to you. By making use of their lack of knowledge, the enemy has brought several problems to many people,

On this feast, which the Lord continually places before you, there is nothing lacking. It does not matter what time you decide to sit at the Most High’s table. The supply for all your needs is replaced at every moment. Even now, come near to God in prayer and tell Him that you do not accept, by any means, the decrease or the lack of what you need.

In Christ, with love,
