Dear Family,
Today is Wednesday, May, 4, 2022, Day 4 of Week 3. This is the 18th Day in our Count to Pentecost.
The existence of evil and the asserted goodness of God are seen by many as contradictory. Those who propagate this supposed contradiction conclude that their two foundational suppositions have to be mutually exclusive. Another prevalent assumption made by many atheists, pseudo-Christians, and other foolish beings; and, that is, evil is permanent. A third faulty yet prevalent assertion is that is, God is in a battle with evil where He is often overwhelmed.
People with such beliefs are only partly informed. They do not have the full story. They are shortsighted, and at best, they base their assumptions on faulty reasoning and incorrect information.
They live their lives in darkness, being blinded by a fallen angel whose primary way of life is lying.
Revelation 12:9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
The Holy Bible makes the reality of all of these things plain to those who are blessed to be able to see now.
Luke 10:23 And He turned Him unto His disciples, and said privately; Blessed are the eyes which see the things that ye see:
Thankfully, all of these members of the human race who have been so terribly misled and misinformed will soon have a tremendous wake-up call. They will be stunned by the powerful and unmistakable light of truth.
As we count forward to Pentecost this year, let us be particularly aware of just how much light God has already granted to each of us. Do we realize and appreciate how the light of truth has, in fact, set us apart?
It is the cause for great thanksgiving, celebration, and humility as we realize we are privileged to see ahead of most of humanity.
What we know and can rely on completely is that God is good, evil is real, but it is only temporary, and God never backs away in defeat! Nothing ever defeats God! God is completely OMNIPOTENT!
We are privileged to be a part of the greatest of God’s creations. We are privileged to be part of His first harvest from mankind.
