The islanders who saw the viper bite the apostle Paul on his hand, they believed that he was certainly a murderer condemned by God, since, according to them, Justice did not want to let him live, after he had been rescued from the sea.
« The people expected him to swell up or suddenly fall dead, but after waiting a long time and seeing nothing unusual happen to him, they changed their minds and said he was a god. »( Acts 28:6)
Indeed, God does not allow evil to destroy a person for whom He still has good plans. Paul dead, his apostolic mission would have been cut short.
The same goes for people who hate us or are jealous of us.
When they see us falling into a dangerous situation, they think it’s over, that we can’t get out of it.
So they expect the situation to get worse and destroy us. And yet, as long as God still has good plans for us, no harm happens to us, the venom of evil that strikes us has no effect on us.
PRAYER:
Our Father who art in heaven, grant us to remain under your protection in all places.
It is in the precious name of your son Jesus Christ that we pray, Amen.
