All throughout life's History we read and understand that Man, has always struggled with the reality of Good versus Evil. In ancient times people would tell stories, to share truths, and to entertain. Ultimately passing on real lessons on life, and the consequences of proper decision making. In today's society; we have the ability to watch television, search the Internet etc. There is no myth to any question. Man has resorted to rather classify a question, or subject into a category. Be it reality, or fiction. Books are written, and are also classified; novels, short stories, Great adventures, etc. Some people would just rather push aside a reality, as an untruth simply thinking that what they are facing will just go away. If this were true society would have never evolved into what it is today. We live in a world where there are Laws, governmental bodies, that establish these laws. Elected officials, right up to a President. Never the less, we all deal with the reality of what we categorize as ' Poetic Justice'. Almost every episode in the Twilight -Zone, features poetic justice, usually due to an ironic twist. In our daily lives we often feel we have two little people on our shoulders. One tells you to do something, that you already feel its wrong to do. The other suggests, or points out the difference as to why not to do just that. We can call this; dealing with our concience. In the Bible, Paul said the good that I should do, I do not. And the bad that I know I shouldn't`t do. This I do. (Romans 7) He later goes on to answer His own question, by thanking God, as He establishes how God paid the price, so that he could live and overcome the challenges he faced. In the book of Job, we can see numerous encounters of Good, versus evil. But in all circumstances, we can understand that 'Good', is always there till evil appears and tries to overcome. This is also true in our everyday lives. We deal with what we call protocol, in our jobs. We live dealing with the consequences of our very own decision making. And through these consequences we establish a history we can not deny. There is a very real battle in our midst. God, came and gave Himself so that you may live. Satan, on the other hand wants to destroy you. ( Jeremiah 17:9) we read;" The heart is devious above all else, it is perverse-- who can understand it"? Evil confronts us on a daily basis, it lurks all around us, at all times. Evil is also in the hearts and minds of governments, thus making it difficult for some people to pray in public. Much less to walk a christian life. We must let God, take us by the hand, as we fight the evil that tries to destroy us. For just as we know that God is all powerful. These apocalyptic manifestations we see in today's world, are nothing more than the eternal conflict between God and satan, good and evil. A struggle that in the end, will be controlled by God's Omnipotence.
May God bless you. Love always,
