" Now the earth was corrupt in God’s sight, and the earth was filled with violence. "(Genesis 6:11)
When ever we read about God not being pleased with humanity, I always like to see the reason. Here it is written that God saw how corrupt and full of violence the world, and mostly we humans are.
So even when we were given the ability to choose between good and evil, humans seem to have a leaning towards evil.
We certainly live in a time of great corruption and violence still. And to think that this has sadly always been the case. The first time around we know God God went for a restart. Perhaps we can be thankful that God hasn't thought to go back to that strategy.
But yet how do we combat the violence and corruption which still surround us? How do we keep ourselves in check and not become part of the problem instead of being part of the solution? I struggle with this, but pray that God will point me in the right direction.
Blessings,
Ed
