This is something I've always struggle with - why don't the evil - often rich and powerful and in positions of great influence - pay for their sins in this lifetime.

Most do not...and this particular scripture really seems to point to our current leadership that continues to hoard riches and power - more than they would ever need - and they do not care if they leave their descendants in debt bondage or civil unrest.

Me - I wish they'd pay for their sins in THEIR lifetime...for all to see, take heed, and change their own ways.

By the way, this isn't to go "holier than thou"...I have plenty of sins I struggle with daily. And no sin is greater than another...but that is hard to wrap my head around when I just cut loose with some profanity...and Gates/Biden/Clintons/Fauci/WEF seem to escape unscathed. We just have to take heart that the poor's suffering is measured in their fleeting lifetime and the evil have eternity to pay.

Yes - I understand this is wildly different than most of my posts, but it really resonated with me this morning.

From Job 21...

I understand you #pleb and felt the same way. But if you look at what they are doing, no affliction upon them in this World would be enough for the evil they have done =>

"And never think that Allah is unaware of what the wrongdoers do. He only delays them for a Day when eyes will stare [in horror]." #Quran, 14:42.

I struggle to understand how Gods sovereignty is working through all of this as well and often get frustrated or defeated. Although in the last few years there have been some personal circumstances that were very devastating at the time and then we later found out some massive bullets were dodged. This isnt always the case of course but cool when we get little insights as to how God is weaving things together (can share on DM if interested). I ultimately trust and have faith that God’s working it all out for His glory and our good…whether we see it in this lifetime or not…and that the end game is what His Word says it is (sure seems like we’re seeing end times events coming together rapidly). Still, as a finite human saved from the condemnation of sin but still affected by sin (the “already” and “not yet”) this life super difficult, often confusing, and full of heartache.

But where am I gonna turn? Myself? My own strength and intellect? That never works out so great.

My auntie who has been through some hell-ish stuff lately sent me this scripture yesterday. “Though the fig tree does not bud and there are no grapes on the vines, though the olive crop fails and the fields produce no food, though there are no sheep in the pen and no cattle in the stalls, yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will be joyful in God my Savior.”

Been praying for peace that surpasses understanding and every morning listing the things I’m thankful for. There is SO much undeserved grace I’ve been given just by being born in here…not to mention discovering Bitcoin early. Remind me that when I go on my next griping rant ;)
