They can't stop

The happenings in our world today should come as no surprise, though they do. I am amazed at how evil some people can be. We have so many people killing people for no good reason that it is unfathomable. We have people stealing people and forcing them into sex slavery. How do you do that? We have people taking things from others, and not just belongings.

I've often wondered what drives people, what motivates people, what causes people to perpetrate some of the heinous acts that they commit. Now, we all have our moments of indiscretion but some of the things happening in recent events are so evil, I just can't figure out how any human can do such. Well...

Today's word is Ecclesiastes 8:8, NIV, which reads, "As no one has power over the wind to contain it, so no one has power over the time of their death. As no one is discharged in time of war, so wickedness WILL NOT RELEASE those who practice it."

You ever try to contain the wind? Ever try to bottle it up so you could remove the lid later and feel the breeze? You can't do it. Just as we can't harness the wind, those who practice evil cannot escape evil. I don't know but I'd bet it's like alcoholism or drug addiction, the more evil you do, the worse evil you need to feel that rush. In today's society, we see the results of people living in evil. So, how do you get out of that cycle?

The only way to stop doing one thing is to do the opposite. If you don't won't to sit, you have to stand. If you don't want to be awake, you have to sleep. If you don't want to be hungry, you have to eat. If you don't want to practice evil, you have to practice righteousness. The only way we will ever overcome all the evil in this world is for this world to get a good dose of and to accept JESUS CHRIST'S righteousness.

Let's pray that those practicing evil will tire of it and look for the righteousness of JESUS CHRIST.

Be Blessed,
