The world..
Some days are rough for me, I have yet to understand why people do such horrific things to one another.. Watching the news is so disturbing sometimes..I just turn it off most of the time, because I have such a hard time excepting the evil of this world.So today I was having a rough time with this.....All of the sudden I came across this..On a Christian website The Blog was.." Why doesn't God do something??" It was a discussion on the evil people of the world.. And here is what was posted..
"God can't wipe out evil without wiping out good. Each relies on the other. Without light, there is no dark. Without dark, there is no light. It's hard for our minds to grasp this as we live in a world of opposites and only have knowledge of things that have opposites. So in order to experience good, one has to also have knowledge of bad. The worse the bad, the better the good. Remove evil and the whole world would no longer exist."
And all of the sudden I realized that the news was a wonderful way for me to impact someone's life through prayer...It felt like God was telling me how I could turn a negative situation into a positive one. I have learned the power of a prayer, and I will not take it for granted..So I will start to watch the news and intercede with prayer. A lady in our leadership group was talking about this..How she had prayed for two children who were kidnapped. And how she just prayed and fasted until the day they were found safe. What a wonderful gift God has given us.
What do you think???

The word of God says that when the tares were sown in with the harvest the landowner said that the tares should not be removed until they reaped. Everything sown by the enemy was removed afterward so that the harvest was not pulled up with the junk the enemy had sown. Same is true with us...
