Successful evil leads to doubt among God’s faithful. 121-123 2. I must depend on God’s inner man work to maintain a biblical perspective. 124-125 3. I must rely on God to deal with the ungodly by remaining faithful to truth. 126-128 PLACING RESPONSIBILITY IN THE CORRECT PLACE RESULTS IN MY TRUST OF GOD AND MY FAITHFULNESS. GOD’S RESPONSIBILITY: DEAL WITH EVIL IN THE WORLD. MY RESPONSIBILITY: REMAIN FAITHFUL TO TRUTH. I MUST TRUST IN GOD’S JUSTICE BY REMAINING FAITHFUL TO TRUTH. APPLICATION 1. It is important to express to God exactly where you are in your thinking and emotions – radical transparency in our prayer allows us to bring our burdens before God. 2. We must be careful to not fall to the temptation to interpret the rampant evil in our world that God is losing and evil is winning. APPLICATION 3. God knows the evil that you face – it is not your responsibility to solve it or deal with it. That responsibility is God’s. 4. My responsibility is to remain faithful to truth. APPLICATION 5. I get myself in trouble when I begin to doubt God’s truth. If it isn’t true, then why would I sacrifice to live according to it? Purposefully go through life identifying that which is contrary to God’s truth. I MUST TRUST IN GOD’S JUSTICE BY REMAINING FAITHFUL TO TRUTH.
