"Be not hasty to go out of his sight: stand not in an evil thing; for he doeth whatsoever pleaseth him." (Ecclesiastes 8:3 KJV)
""After this time had passed, I Nebuchadnezzar, looked up to heaven. My sanity returned, and I praised and worshiped the Most High and honored the one who lives forever. "His rule is everlasting, and his kingdom is eternal. All the people of the earth are nothing compared to him. He does as he pleases among the angels of heaven and among the people of the earth. No one can stop him or say to him, 'What do you mean by doing these things?'"" (Daniel 4:34-35 NLT)
I feel at peace regarding all that will happen, regardless of what might happen! No matter what, I know that God has a firm grip on this world, because He is the Creator of heaven and earth; it is His to do with, whatever He wants! And based upon the amazing thing He did on that cross, I can be assured that His plan we be amazingly awesome!
So, anyone out there that might think we have got to be worried, we don't need to worry about anything except those who will be lost, deceived, and reject Jesus Christ! If you want to worry about something, you need to worry about them. This world is going to be torn to pieces, but that doesn't affect anyone that saved: even if we are torn to pieces, lit on fire, and thrown into the deepest sea, we have a place waiting for us in the Kingdom of God, guaranteed!
Hopefully you can believe that is true, because it is what this life of faith is all about. There is nothing that happens here on this earth that God does not allow; not that He is pleased by what is bad or evil, because that is not something He would do; but everything is going to be dealt with, sooner or later; and all those who are not written, in the Book of Life, will be judged accordingly.
If you are so inclined, pray for those who plan and plot evil, that they might be changed. It could happen: If it happened to Manasseh, the evilest king that Judah ever had, it could happen to anyone, no matter who they are or how evil they become.
Keep your focus on loving the Lord and praying for those you want to be saved...
"Since everything around us is going to be destroyed like this, what holy and godly lives you should live, looking forward to the day of God and hurrying it along. On that day, he will set the heavens on fire, and the elements will melt away in the flames. But we are looking forward to the new heavens and new earth he has promised, a world filled with God's righteousness." (2 Peter 3:11-13 NLT)
