Despite its present condition, the earth is full of the Lord’s love, justice and righteousness. For to the extent that those qualities exist on any level, they are from Him. If the evil one, who’s objective is to steal, kill and destroy had his way, the world would be completely devoid of any expression of these.
What the earth lacks at present is the exclusive display of these attributes, because we live in a fallen world, under the temporary control of the evil one, and the Lord has a higher priority than making the world a perfect place. That priority is patience. Patience with mankind to receive His provision for eternal life through Jesus Christ. The day is coming when the earth will be governed by His absolute justice and righteousness, and where His love will be perfectly manifested on this earth. But that time is not right now. Now is the time of grace. Now is the time of salvation. Now is the time for whomever will call upon the Lord to be saved.
Something to take just a moment to consider today.
