The LORD is righteous in all His ways, Gracious in all His works.

Psalm 145: 17

Our God never tells a lie, He neither deceives anyone nor He behaves crookedly even when it comes to dealing with the enemy for He is righteous. When the devil put into question Job’s attitude he was allowed by God to touch the patriarch. Those who do not read carefully The Word might think that The Lord was wicked to Job considering that the patriarch apparently had no loopholes which would justify such permission. Later on, Job himself said that what he feared the most had happened. If we do not serve The Most High with a whole heart the devil might get permission to oppress us; yet, by confessing our sin and by resisting the devil he will flee from us (James 4: 7).

The ways of God are recorded in The Scriptures and those who follow them will never stumble or give room to the devil to come in and go for his vengeance. Those paths are neither complicated nor toilsome; on the contrary, they are easy paths to follow and they make our heart feel so good. Those who fulfil the commandments of The Lord prove that they love Him and that they are loved by Him and by Jesus.

There is nothing better than following the path of Life, the divine journey. Do not accept those things condemned by God and never refute what He approves. Never let the devil of doubt make a dwelling in your heart nor let him lead your life, not even for a short period of time. Regardless of how much you understand any declaration in The Scriptures, as you assume what The Lord speaks in His Word you are to put your living in the hands of The Most High. When you do so, the devil will find himself with his hands tied up to operate in any area of your being.

The Lord is holy in all of His works, and that is why you must never let cross your mind the thought that it was the divine hand that caused the disaster which hurt you, or that it put an end to a beloved one’s life. That lie was created by Satan himself and it has caused many people to leave The Way. Those who believe in that fallacy, unless they repent one day, and unless they go back to their communion with God shall not participate in the great feast of salvation, but they will be forever lost and condemned to endless torment.

Our Father will never be corrupted by any manner, not even to assist any of His children. He does not lie nor He takes crooked attitudes, but He is perfect in all of His works. If you have been tempted to commit a sin, you must know that He will not pat you on the head nor will He allow you to enter The Kingdom of Glory. Only those whose garments are not stained will be able to go in there, those who were washed up by the blood of The Lamb (Revelation 22: 14). So, do strive to carry on walking on the Eternal Way. Do not let yourself be carried away by any temptation at all.

All the works of God are perfect and there is no error or wickedness in Him. He teaches us how to be holy because He is holy.

In Christ, with love,
