Evening: Psalm 74; John 5:19-29
The Scriptures sometimes say bad behaviour brings bad consequences, and good behaviour good consequences. I wonder ... do you assume this means these consequences are punishments or rewards from a higher power? Try another approach ... When you read about good or bad consequences, assume that they are not the responses of a police-like higher power but natural processes built into the way the world is made ... So, evil tears the fabric of Creation bringing harm and disruption, while goodness cares for the fabric of Creation and brings with it healing and peace. Is your ‘God’ too small?
