Despite Jacob's love for Joseph, he couldn't protect him for his other wicked sons Don't ever leave your life into the hands of anyone who could hardly protect himself. God is the ultimate keeper and preserver of life. You are the apple of his eyes, therefore, no evil will have access to your life. If man is formed from the dust of the ground and the devil is cursed to eat dust, it means, man is his meal. For this reason, choose a better, stronger and enduring helper, who would not allow the enemy to even come close to your dwelling place.
