I think we, as Christians, can honestly say that evil is all around us. No matter where we turn, no matter where we look, no matter what we read in the news, its everywhere. So how do we not get overwhelmed by evil? In Psalm 119:133, the psalmist says it very clearly...guide my steps by your word. What this means for us is that if we are not spending time with God, being quiet and listening to His voice, if we are not getting into His word, the Bible, then we will become overwhelmed by the evil around us, we will get unbalanced, agitated, frustrated, and the list goes on. This doesn't mean that nothing bad will happen to you or that we won't have problems in our lives. What this does mean is that we won't be overwhelmed by the issues that we face, or the problems that arise. For example, when I have gone through some really low times in my life, it was God's word that encouraged me. His word got my focus off of my situation and onto Him. The more I got into His word, the more I felt life returning to me. I encourage you that if you are not spending regular time with God, listening to His voice and reading His word, then start today. If you already are spending regular time with Him, ask Him to take you even deeper into His word.
Take Away: God's word is the only way that we will not be overwhelmed by problems and issues that we face in our lives.
