Proverbs 1:33 but whoever listens to me will live in safety and be at ease, without fear of harm.’
It’s not knowing God which will keep you safe from harm, but listening to God which will!
The evil one knows God, but he does not listen to God – hence things go wrong all the time!
But, if we behave much like some of the great people in our bibles, we will be safer because we begin to see how much they listened to and obeyed God!
