Matthew 26: 30-32
Jesus undoubtedly sang many times, but this is the only time mentioned in the Gospels.
…on the night before his death.
The conversation on the way to the Mount of Olives gets heavy.
Jesus tells them that before this night ends, all of them will have their faith in him shaken.
At times our faith is shaken too. It comes down to the fundamental problem that
God doesn’t live up to our expectations.
In our view sometimes, God should:
-prevent natural disasters;
-quickly straighten out injustices;
-eliminate sickness and suffering;
-protect everyone from accidents, especially children.
If God is all powerful, and God is good, then evil should not be.
But, it does exist. Everywhere.
I’ll never figure it out this side of the grave. All I can do is look at the cross…
As evil and ugly a thing as we could think of, and say, “God, help me to trust as Jesus did, that you can bring goodness out of evil.”
Spend some quiet time with the Lord this morning. Every morning, better.

As good as Orwell is , Aldous Huxley , his teacher , was more profound.
Huxley’s non-fiction work : BRAVE NEW WORLD REVISITED is required reading.
Just search online for it.
Give it a chance. It’s by Anonymous Conservative.
Worth the read, in one humble man’s opinion.
War is Peace…
Freedom is Slavery…
Ignorance is Strength….
And the best….
All Government is Evil…..
And we don’t get actually vote for any of the bastards
