But the Lord is faithful, and He will strengthen you [setting you on a firm foundation] and will protect and guard you from the evil one.
2 Thessalonians 3:3 AMP

For today, I want to dig into the definitions and help with understanding the votd.
🙏🏼 God is faithful- He's trustworthy and keeps His promises
💪🏼 He will strengthen us- He gives support and security and solidly plant, eliminating indecisiveness and double-mindedness
🛡️ He will protect us- keeping watch over, keeping secure; personally on guard against, emphasizing personal interest involved with guarding
😈 From the evil one- the devil, the appearance of evil, evil that is wicked
We live in a world where there is an enemy, the devil who comes to deceive and tempt. But God is faithful to His promises and personally watches over us as Christians. In this specific chapter, Paul is talking to believers.

📌 In the verse before:
and [pray] that we will be rescued from perverse and evil men; for not everyone has the faith.
2 Thessalonians 3:2 AMP
We live in a world where people's hearts are wicked and evil to the core. The devil takes advantage of our weaknesses and tempts us to do more evil.
That's why it's so important to trust God and rely on Him for strength and protection.
P.S. It's baffling to find words in the Bible you'd least expect or didn't know were in the Bible.
