A friend is facing a situation where they have been treated unfairly again and again and I'm struggling not to lash out on behalf of my friend. But I must remember that God is BIG. And He sees. He promises He's my (and my friend's) avenger so I'm trusting in that today.<br /><br />This was an excellent post Amy and thank you so much for sharing it Lynn. Truly a timely reminder for this season in my life. :)Debra Weisshttp://www.DebraWeiss.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9050928059293791369.post-91365328376716734352010-10-07T16:03:13.652-04:002010-10-07T16:03:13.652-04:00Anonymous--praying you find justice in this situat...Anonymous--praying you find justice in this situation! And you're absolutely right--fighting for what's right and standing up against evil is our duty. I love the quote by Edmund Burke, "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing." Separating that unwavering duty from the need to pay evil back with evil can be difficult, but is important, as we press on to defend the defenseless and marginalized in the world.

I am dealing with evil; in a large form (the form of a political party) who hijacked one of my ancestor's poems, and is using it for their platform. It is not for which that poem was written (it is being used to beat the other party over the head). I am going to fight and pray, and not have any expectations of the results. I just know that God would want justice, and though He wants me to pray to help those justices happen, He doesn't want me to sit back in a recliner and pray away evil, but to stand up and fight it head on. And that is just what I plan to do. Thank you for such a timely and prolific piece.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9050928059293791369.post-47300453342271386042010-10-07T13:17:43.794-04:002010-10-07T13:17:43.794-04:00Thanks, DL & Marja, for reading and for your e...Thanks, DL & Marja, for reading and for your encouragement.

Yes, we all KNOW what to do, but that doesn't make it any easier!<br />I have noticed indeed that the vastness of the universe makes my problems look smaller... sometimes even insignificant. Not worth losing any more time over.

If there was ever a human justification for retaliation, your story would be compelling. But alas, we are governed by a different set of morals. A higher directive straight from God's Throne. The only way to release the hatred and venom from such despicable actions is to "plunge them beneath the Blood of Jesus" and let Him wash away the residue of our human emotions and pain.
