Encouraging Words 2/3/10 Why Doesn't God Obliterate Evil?

From: Love Worth Finding

“Thine, O Lord, is the greatness, and the power, and the glory, and the victory, and the majesty: for all that is in the heaven and in the earth is thine.” 1 Chronicles 29:11


Have you ever wondered why God doesn’t obliterate the devil and eradicate all sin?

If God destroyed evil, God would destroy every opportunity of choice. And if God were to destroy every opportunity for choice, then God would destroy every opportunity for love. Therefore, God would destroy the highest good.

For God to destroy evil would be evil. God doesn’t destroy evil; instead God defeats evil. How? Through Calvary and the resurrection, God turns every hurt into a hallelujah. Every defeat into victory!

Spend some time today thinking about heaven and the glorious reunion you’re going to have with Him one day.
