And Rules Over Angels, Authorities, And Powers.

Scripture

1 Peter 3

²² Now he has gone into heaven. He is at God’s right side and rules over angels, authorities, and powers.

Observation

After what happened in Colorado last week I think we need to be reminded of Who is still in charge of this world and Who will one day straighten everything out! Jesus Christ is in charge! The evil prince of this world will not be able to do his dastardly deeds forever. The shooter in Colorado was and is evil. 

What happened in Aurora is a reminder that Satan is alive and seemingly well on planet earth, but his days of terror are numbered. Jesus Christ is the Victor. He will take care of Satan in the end. 

 ^“If you are always trying to do good, no one can really harm you. But you may suffer for doing right. If that happens, you have God’s blessing. “Don’t be afraid of the people who make you suffer; don’t be worried.” 1 Peter 3:13-14

There are evil people in this world and we will always see and we may even experience horrific things at the hands of those evil people. If we do suffer at the hands of someone that is evil God says that we should not be afraid them. He even says not to be worried. If we suffer for doing right we will receive God’s blessing. 

This world seems like it is out of control. It is true that it is in a downward spiral, but there is One who is still in control and one day will return from Heaven and fix it!

Application

I will not be afraid of the evil people that may come my way.

Prayer

Heavenly Father, I will take Your Promise that if I suffer at the hands of someone that is evil that I will receive Your blessing. We are not to live in fear. Help us not to be afraid. I believe that Jesus Christ has authority over everything - over angels, over authorities, and over powers. I know that nothing will come into my life or the life of my family that is first not filtered by You.
