I go back and forth between peace and passions, etc.<BR/><BR/>While discussing all of this with my husband... wondering if we have done enough, and why there is so much obvious evil and disobedience "winning" the heart of our culture...<BR/><BR/>Matthew 13 came to me. The parable of the weeds among the wheat.<BR/><BR/>Of course, my desire would be for holiness to prevail and be within every heart. But that is not, nor has it ever been the case. <BR/><BR/>I felt that the Lord was reminding me of His sovereignty. Should I not rejoice that the ugliness of this culture is coming forward... being revealed?<BR/><BR/>It is not my job to dethrone the evil, just as it is not my job to separate the weeds from the wheat.<BR/><BR/>The Lord is at work.<BR/><BR/>Like you, I am reminded that I must keep my eyes on the Lord and His kingdom, and all these other things will be added...<BR/><BR/>Hugs & Prayers... *Linda**Linda Pinda*https://www.blogger.com/profile/16114796988385832273noreply@blogger.com
