There is no denying that those who are hurt others deserve to be given a chance to make things right again. However, what is not commonly understood is that this is an issue that no nation has ever been able to fully resolve. Every country on Earth has eventually met its end, regardless of how many times it has risen and fallen. I don't want to be a negative person about this, but when you look at the historical decline of nations, it's hard not to be pessimistic about the future. However, there is always hope that things will get better.As individuals, we have a range of concerns, but we must also take into account the plight of religious organizations around the world. Religious organizations are often the target of violence and persecution, and it's often implied that the Devil is involved because of the individuals' importance. This problem is particularly acute when organizations that are important to people's beliefs are targeted.The purpose of this writing is to establish the idea that God has already decided who the winners and losers in life are, and that we are saved from having to make that judgement ourselves. I am thankful that we don't have to bear that burden, because it's not our place. God's purpose in this is not because we do not have the power or ability to be that arbitrator. After all, God gives men judgement in this world.But God's primary concern is that we be protected from suffering at the hands of sinners. This is my point about evil and its effects on us. The problems we face in terms of our success are much bigger than we can control.Our problem is that we are too quick to make decisions based on our own opinion rather than waiting for what will come to our judgement. This is the same problem that can be caused by feeling too powerful and over-managing everything.We have a natural desire to do things and be successful, but we were never meant to take on these kinds of struggles ourselves. We believe that every time we are opposed by someone, it is directly related to our struggle with evil spirits.God has given us the gospel not just for our salvation from eternal retribution, but also to help us deflect the curse of responsibility for things we are not responsible for. And yet, because we have a clear mandate to bless those who bless His glory and curse those who curse His glory, we must be careful not to use the gospel as an excuse to avoid our responsibilities. All of these personal effects that we give out to help the injured and the poor are a gift from God, given to us out of His freedom and His love. When we look to God, who is lifted up and who judges us all, we are inspired to act on the basis of that gift, and not out of a sense of responsibility or obligation.
