Birch Bark

Bark attack.

Attacked by Humans.

Evil’s Bite is worse than it’s Bite.

Psalm 121:7

The Lord will keep you from all evil; he will keep your life.

Revelation 2:8-9

[To the corrupt leaders:]I know your affliction and your poverty, even though you are rich. I know the slander on the part of those who say that they are Jews and are not, but are a synagogue of Satan.

Words of Grace For Today

Real people are vessels of real evil.

Of that there is no doubt.

People who are rich, are afflicted and actually poor in truth, poor in spirit, poor in life. They claim to be God’s people, and serve only Satan.

From these people, the Evil they work with lies (pretending to be good), and the Evil One they serve … from all these God promises to protect us, to protect our lives.

This protection is not that we are separated so far from Evil and people that work it that we never suffer Evil’s destruction. God’s promise is to always be with us, not to abandon us, and not to allow Evil to extract from us life itself.

Baptized we enter eternal life already during our time on earth.

Wonders of wonders, that nothing can take from us. We can surrender it, though God protects us from even that.

Wonders of wonders, we live, even in the face of corrupt, destructive, and unresting Evil worked against us.

There is much to celebrate each and every day.
