And you forget the Lord your Maker, Who stretched out the heavens And laid the foundations of the earth; You have feared continually every day Because of the fury of the oppressor, When he has prepared to destroy. And where is the fury of the oppressor?  Isaiah 51:13

Who is man to forget about God who is such a perfect Being, who created him in His image and likeness? When there was no more hope in us, because of Adam´s fall, the Lord sent His Son to die in the place of humanity. Thus, He was able to buy salvation so that all those could change their eternal fate. This fact is more than enough for us to love the Master. 

We can say that we are formed by well organized cells, making up an intelligent system that works perfectly. This is enough for us to understand that we need the One who created us and who has all power in Heaven and on Earth to lead in success those that trust in Him. When we fulfill what Jesus commanded us than He becomes our friend. 

God created the Earth, the perfect world for the life of man. This wonderful sphere where we live has several mountains, rivers, oceans, forests…. Anyway, it has a huge weight, but it does not need any pillars to sustain it. At the same time, it revolves around itself and the Sun, but even so it does not hold such great energy that it could make it move and spin unruly throughout space. 

Despite the beauty of creation, there are people who still say they don’t need the One who holds all of this immeasurable intelligence. The Creator is perfect in all that He does. However, with our finite mind, we are not able to understand this, for God created the world out of nothing. The Milky Way, the galaxy in which we live, with billions of celestial bodies, is just one amongst billions of existing galaxies in the Universe. This is so tremendous! 

One of the things that most upsets the Lord is the man who fears continually every day the fury of the oppressor, for, before the Lord´s eyes, this spirit is absolutely nothing. Millions of people live oppressed, dominated by the evil forces that bring suffering to them because they don’t fear God, and later, these people will still be lead to eternal perdition, when they should actually get things right with the Heavenly Father and walk to Heaven. 

Even if Satan sent you a message, saying that he is getting ready to do a deadly work in your life, you must not fear his threats. Trust in God and fulfill His purpose. The Lord loves all human beings and wants to deliver them from the spiritual death. He will keep you safe from the evil one. 

The Word asks about the fury of the one who oppressed you, for Jesus has already stripped him of his ability to do evil. Enter into the presence of the Most High in prayer and make things right with Him. Believe that He is your Strength and Salvation. Then, reject the threat of the devil, for he has already been defeated at the cross of Calvary. 

In Christ, with love,
