Merely a breath
Evil has always been present in this world, but sometimes it is easy to forget about it when it isn't directly affecting us personally. In light of current events, I find myself selfishly fearing for what might be in store for us.... It's a scary world we live in (although I guess people have been saying that for years, I'm sure...there's really nothing new.)
Anyway, I guess God knows my heart and the fears that have filled my mind over the past few days: He caused me to read a verse today that helped give peace and re-adjust my heart and mind: "Behold, Thou hast made my days as handbreadths, and my lifetime as nothing in Thy sight, Surely every man at his best is a mere breath. [Selah.]" and again "Surely every man is a mere breath." (Psalm 39:5, 11)
We will all die. Once to every man, there is an appointed time to die. Death has a way of conquering even the most powerful, rich, healthy, and invincible--even those who are evil and bring terror and death to innocent people.
Evil will not always triumph over good. It may seem to prevail...for now.
But life is but a breath.
God is in control...and one day He will bring all evil to an end.
