Join me, Alison Elizabeth as we read out of John 17:15 which says "My prayer is not that you take them out of the world but that you protect them from the evil one."

"God created us, he hasn’t asked a lot from us he just wants our love. He pursues us and protects us. He doesn’t want us involved with things that may hurt our bodies, souls, or spirits. He wants to keep us from wicked ways. He is a protective father. But at the same time, he gave us free will and this world to live in.

 

The scriptures a clear, don’t live for the world but live for God, but it’s also clear, we must find a way to live in this world for God.

 

Let’s take rollercoasters for example. They are fun a thrilling and once you’re on, you are on. There is no going back not until it’s over. A much like life, it’s exhilarating, with winding tracks that could be 50 feet tall one second and ground level the next. It can speed up slow down and some even go backwards before switching tracks. Sounds a look like picking a degree in college.

 

All in all, it’s it’s a lot of fun, but it can be dangerous. You can just get into a cart and let the ride begin. You have to strap yourself in. In the same way, life is exhilarating, there  are winding roads, and can be dangerous if you are not fully protected. We have the Word of God for that. the Bible protects us from the world. It protects us from the evil one.

 

Like this verse says, my prayer is not that you take them out of the world but that you protect them from the evil one. We must learn to live a life full of purpose, laughter, fun, and exhilarating moments, but without strapping into the word of God, any wrong turn can have you spinning out of control."
