The Nova Music Festival became a scene of unthinkable violence, of hatred unleashed. Hundreds of lives were changed in an instant. Events like that force us to face something we don’t like to talk about: the presence of evil in our world. We can’t afford to turn our eyes away from that. When we refuse to acknowledge it, when we ignore it because it’s uncomfortable, we leave the door open for it to grow stronger. The Bible tells us in 1 Peter 5:8, “Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.” That means we have to be awake, recognize when evil is moving, and respond with truth, prayer, and courage.
