Corrupt
9 if this is so, then the Lord knows how to rescue the godly from trials and to hold the unrighteous for punishment on the day of judgment.10 This is especially true of those who follow the corrupt desire of the flesh and despise authority.
Bold and arrogant, they are not afraid to heap abuse on celestial beings; 11 yet even angels, although they are stronger and more powerful, do not heap abuse on such beings when bringing judgment on them from the Lord. 2 Peter 2:9-11
Have you ever thought about what makes a corrupt individual? The world has influence on people to get them to do things that are ungodly and encourages them focus on things only for themselves. It is that selfish nature in people that gets them to ignore the mores of society and the righteous path God wants for all of us. This week we had our car stolen and it still has not been recovered. I have spent most of my week asking the simple question of why. Why would someone do this to us? I have found in prayer this week that it is not them. It is the evil in this world that pushes people to become corrupt and do things they shouldn't. It is evil that makes me bitter towards those individuals, and tries to get me to lash out against people who have allowed evil to sneak into their lives. Here's the kicker, God knows who they are and knows why they are corrupt. HIs judgment will come eventually and His plan will unfold for us as it always has done. We all need to have faith that God will address these things in His time and not ours. I have been taught a huge lesson this week in letting God do what He needs to do.
Have a great weekend.
