It seems the winds of hatred are still blowing and they are like flames that are destroying lives, faith and hope for the future. Some days it weighs on my heart more than other days, some days it seems as if evil is winning and that there is no longer any truth. All truth has been painted over with the lust for power. Some days I wish I could close my eyes go to sleep and not have to see anymore, hear anymore or care anymore.

Is Hate winning? Who is in charge of this mess? Who can we believe?

I don’t know if hate is winning. I don’t know who on earth is really in charge. Is there a group of elites that are playing chess with all our lives? I don’t know who on earth we can believe… so many lies, so much deceit, so much, so much.

What I do know is that God is in control. Whatever His plans we are not to know, we probably could not comprehend if we did know.

During the times I am feeling this way, I read Ecclesiastes. In this book written by Solomon, Israel’s King known for his wisdom nearly 3,000 years ago, he set out to understand life’s meaning and purpose, good and evil, wisdom and folly, and justice and injustice. In the end he concluded:

Now all has been heard; here is the conclusion of the matter:
Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the duty of all mankind.
For God will bring every deed into judgment, including every hidden thing,
    whether it is good or evil.

Ecclesiastes 12:13-14

In Proverbs, which was also written by Solomon, it says;

Hatred stirs up strife, but love covers all offenses.

Proverbs 10:12

Below is a short verse I wrote on Hatred in 2018. I keep reminding my myself how easily it can creep into my life. Praying for love that covers all and that hate is purged from my thoughts and actions.
