Good Words for Today: June 24

“The evil one cannot harm them” (1 John 5:18). Satan and his demons can harass us, oppress us, confuse us, disturb us, mislead us, trick us, and discourage us.  But in the end, we will stand like champions before the throne of God and say, “He never laid a glove on us.”  He can slow us down, but he can’t stop us.  He can discourage us, but he can’t defeat us.  He can knock us down, but he can’t keep us down because by God’s grace, we will get up to fight again.  He can take away our assurance, but he can’t take away our salvation because the Holy Spirit has taken up permanent residence within the heart of every believer.
