The truest source of Trust and Protection comes from God. No man or group of people can ever take that place. We're all human, and many can be easily pursued to do the wrong thing, whether it be for money, power, fame, to cover for oneself (blackmail) or threatened. The closer I become to God, the more at peace I feel. He knows what's best for each of us individually and as a whole. Is He happy with what's taking place? No, I am sure He is extremely disappointed. Could He make this all go away? Probably. But, really, we don't learn anything. We would just go on with life, and wouldn't give God much thought. When life's going good, we don't think of Him as much or at all. The Israelites had to experiment many hardships way back then. Why? It's because they had forsaken God. They forgot about God. And that kind of thing doesn't end up very well.
God will provide for His people. He always has. Sometimes, though, having patience and putting our Trust solely on God is the biggest test given to us in our life time. We've turned our backs on God. And this is the consequences from it.
Not all will agree with what I have to say. But I am fine with that. I am not forcing you to think a certain way. Just sharing what I think is taking place. In the end, no matter the disagreement, I love you all. I want to see us overcome this evil realm before us. But it's not going to be just won by a random group of people. Who we have no idea who they are. It's going to be accomplished by God. It's why we didn't 'win' already. Because we will be giving credit to people that don't really deserve the credit. The credit goes to God. Always. Can He use individuals to accomplish something? Absolutely! He used many people in the olden days to accomplish goodness and defeat evil. He will and has done the same today.
I hope you all have a very wonderful evening......or day.? Thanks for reading.
