God is merciful 1

* Luís Alberto Alves

The act of praying, even if it is five minutes, becomes rare every day. Many Christians have failed to set aside time for Jesus Christ. Of course, they remind the Lord in the moment of despair, when the callus presses in the foot and feel how impotent they are. After the danger has passed, the life of detachment returns to the ideals of heaven, to seek the Lord while it can be found.

But to our happiness God is merciful. He is not stingy enough to pay attention to the disregard we have for his majestic authority. Keep taking care of us all. He continues to command his angels, as written in one of the verses of Psalm 91, to guard us in our ways, full of spiritual traps that most of us do not see.

Jesus is so loving that sometimes he ignores our mistakes, some of them terrible, and the promises we make in times of despair, knowing that we will not keep the word of fulfilling what has come out of our lips. Imagine what would happen to your life right now, with Jesus distant from your ways? Have you ever wondered if the Lord did not leave His angels around you?

Think about what might happen to your life, if the legions of demons managed to grab you and annihilate you materially and spiritually? Have you ever had an attack from a principality that has authority to rule in a country that is responsible for natural disasters such as hurricanes, floods, storms and accidents that cause thousands of people to die?
