One Guarantee About Evil….

There’s almost always one guarantee about evil: it will throw off all restraint to taunt and take advantage of the faithful when they are down. Look at the current times, do people take advantage of others when they are down? Do politicians take advantage of tumultuously times to blame the other side? Do looters and violence take center stage for a “perceived” just cause? Look at how many businesses have taken advantage of this pandemic? Insurance agencies playing on people’s fear? The guy who purchased $20,000 of hand sanitizers, collecting all the local stores had, all to make a buck? Politicians using funerals to make political statements? Understand? Evil takes no mercy on the weak and downtrodden. It’s one more reason we should hate evil. Today, overcome evil with good. Give someone a reason to hope. Point them to Jesus, the author of that hope.

9 “And now they mock me with vulgar songs!They taunt me!10 They despise me and won’t come near me,except to spit in my face.11 For God has cut my bowstring.He has humbled me,so they have thrown off all restraint.12 These outcasts oppose me to my face.They send me sprawlingand lay traps in my path.13 They block my roadand do everything they can to destroy me.They know I have no one to help me.14 They come at me from all directions.They jump on me when I am down. Job 30:9-14
