A Return Trip

Psalm 82:1-4 (NLT) God presides over heaven’s court; he
pronounces judgment on the heavenly beings: 
“How long will you hand down unjust decisions by favoring the
wicked?  Give justice to the poor and the
orphan; uphold the rights of the oppressed and the destitute.  Rescue the poor and helpless; deliver them
from the grasp of evil people.”
 
 
The flights are booked and the
planning has begun….
 
We’re going to Cambodia!
 
In early January, my friend, Donna,
my daughter, Steph, and I will head to Phnom Penh to support missions that care
for exploited and at-risk girls.  We’ll
also travel to Kompong Cham to see World Hope’s preventive Adelphe program and meet
a girl we began sponsoring after our trip in 2012 – fighting the evil of sex
trafficking one girl at a time.
 
Do you ever wonder why God allows so
much evil in the world?  This week alone
we’ve read headlines about another beheading, a brutal attack at a synagogue, rape
accusations against Bill Cosby, and a shooting at FSU.  Not all evil makes the headlines, but we know
about ongoing domestic violence, cyber crime, fraud, murder, and so much more.
 
How do we tackle such huge problems?
 
By loving one child of God at a
time.  By doing our small part instead of
feeling powerless.  By speaking up.  By supporting others in the mission field
fighting the evil head on. 
 
How do you battle evil? (tweet this)
 
Like a productive garden, a rich
relationship should be tended regularly.
