I don’t care who you are, what race, nationality, religion you are or what political views you have, there is one thing I’m sure that we can all agree on and that is that these are evil days. The things that are in the news just make you shake your head. The decisions people make are jaw dropping. The stuff that happens in kindergarten these days would make a Marine in the 50’s blush. We are at a time where people even complain about getting a raise and that they are making too much money for fear that they are going to lose their government aid. The moral and ethical health of this country is on life support. The scary part is that it could be a whole lot worse. Jesus has the plug of the life support in His hands, He knows the condition we are in, and if He chose to pull the plug it could be a whole lot worse, He keeps it from getting that way. Even evil can be given limits by Jesus and it will obey. As much as evil makes us cringe, as upsetting it can be, and the fact that we want to steer clear of it you know what evil is? It’s nothing but an opportunity to point to the one holding the plug, and that’s Jesus. Jesus is able to use evil things to bring Him glory, He’s that good. The cool thing is He wants to use you in the process so you can experience the joy of making an opportunity out of evil for good. There are plenty of opportunities out there, why not take a shot? Every shot you don’t take is a guaranteed miss.
Ephesians 5:16
16 Make the most of every opportunity in these evil days.
good stuff.
