It is interesting to note that the bad comes in
only after we turn away from the Lord. I
believe this truly happens in the moment of choice: When my kids are whining (there’s nothing
that drives me nuts quicker) for attention or impatient for food: Do I get
impatient and be annoyed or do I pray for strength beyond my own. The
cycle is set up because we fell into a trap and make the wrong choice therefore
leading us down to captivity. I know
every time I let myself get angry it is because I am not “looking to the Lord
to live” as I ought. Joy is there, but I
have to choose it by looking to Him.
