1.Sometimes, we feel so surrounded by forces of godlessness that it seems hopeless for us to try to change them. We know God can annul these forces in an instant! Still, these forces seem invincible against all our earthly efforts. At times, it seems that the best we can do is just to “batten the hatches” and “circle the wagons” — withdrawing into ourselves, to avoid being affected by the negative influences that constantly bombard us. What guidance can we glean from the Bible for our behavior at such times?
2.Again, realizing that God alone can (and one day will!) vanquish these forces of godlessness, what does He expect of us? Should we be training ourselves just to wait patiently for Him to intervene? Do we find role models in the Bible whom we can strive to emulate in formulating the appropriate strategy for confronting these challenges? And how does this strategy play itself out in God’s ultimate plan? Does this relate to the reconciliation beginning to take place between Jews and Christians today?
