but the aggression of the mob cannot be satiated, so the angels intervene by striking the men with blindness. - P34
There may be times when our efforts
for peace and dialogue fail to be effective against the evils of this world.
In such situations, we must leave things in God‘shands and allow Him to exact justice according to His instituted means.
- P34
Often this means trusting civil law enforcement and the justice system to perform
their divinely appointed tasks.
But when human processes fail to bring
proper and complete justice, we have
God‘s promise of final judgment,
where He will repay every evildoer
according to their deeds. - P34
Father, thank you for Your promise of ultimate protection and justice for Yourpeople. - P34
Give us the grace and power to do what is right as we endure the evilsof this world. In Jesus name, amen. - P34
