We know that anyone born of God does not continue to sin; the One who was born of God keeps them safe, and the evil one cannot harm them.
1 John 5:18 NIV
God Protects
In 2019, Canada took concrete action to defend Canadian democracy by announcing the Plan to Protect Democracy, which includes measures to strengthen our electoral system against cyber and other threats. Elements of the Plan underwent internal and/or independent assessments, which confirmed the Plan’s utility and relevance, in 2021. The Government of Canada continues to act through this Plan and these efforts will continue to address the threats to Canada’s democratic institutions and help to keep our democracy strong.

The Bible tells us that there is a spiritual battle taking place constantly in the heavenlies. Most of the time we are not aware of it, but it is all around us. The enemy of God and His people constantly works to make us stumble in our walk with the Lord. The battle manifests itself in our hearts while we wrestle with temptation. What we don’t always realize is that God is fighting our battle for us and promises to protect us from the evil one. The apostle writes this in 1 John 5:18: “We know that anyone born of God does not continue to sin; the One who was born of God keeps them safe, and the evil one cannot harm them.” Our role in the battle is to keep in close contact with our God. As we spend time in His word and in prayer, He empowers us to walk in victory. There is no need for a follower of Jesus to live a defeated spiritual life. God is all around us and within us by the Holy Spirit, promising to keep us safe. Keep close to Him and let Him fight your battle.
These have been words from the heart.
