FAITH CAPSULE: Be conscious whenever God is operating in His goodness the devil will operate in his ugliness

Genesis 6:1-7, John 16

God is a good God. His character is always good with no iota of evil doing. God in His goodness created all to be good. Genesis 1:31, “Then God saw everything that He had made, and indeed it was very good…” The goodness of His heart must have prompted Him when He pronounced blessings. It is written, “Then God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply…” (Genesis 1:28)  To be fruitful and able to multiply is good and it will always draw the attention of wickedness. Evidently, with fruitfulness and multiplication in place on the earth, “Then the LORD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. And the LORD was sorry that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved in His heart.” (Genesis 6:5-6) Every good act of God will also draw the attention of the evil one just as it happened in Job 1:6, “Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan also came among them.” As one that loves God and walks in His commands bumping into challenges in your opposite direction is not always an evidence of wrong doing but could be an evidence of the enemy’s attempt to derail and deny your blessing. It is true that when one walks in the right direction challenges of the evil one will not cease but overcoming challenges always answer for one that believes.
The Psalmist encourages, “Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the Lord delivers him out of them all.” (Psalm 34:19) Every believer’s righteousness is in Christ Jesus. Any believer that is having Him; that is walking in line with Him does have the choice to have and maintain peace in the face of challenges. Evidently, the world will not be without challenges. 
Jesus once stated, “These things I have spoken to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.” (John 16:33) If you have Jesus, stay in line with Him, regardless of your challenges (tribulation) do not take your eyes away from him but be of good cheer just as mentioned by Him.
God is good; He made us to be good; to be fruitful and to multiply. The evil one will be attracted but termination shall be the portion of the evil one. Be conscious whenever God is operating in His goodness the devil will operate in his ugliness and that is why he is being referred to as the accuser of brethren.

Prayer for today: Ask the Good Lord God to deliver you and preserve you from every evil so that His name can be glorified in your life.
