GREAT LEADERS GO TO THE SANCTUARY

Team:

Have you ever asked why evil exists?

When evil things happen to innocent people we wonder why? Why would God allow this to happen?

It is a tough question.

The Bible says, "when I went to the Sanctuary I began to understand."

GREAT LEADERS GO TO THE SANCTUARY

When we are upset and feel like there was an injustice done by someone or a group of people we need to go to the Sanctuary.

What is the Sanctuary? It is a quiet spot away from others with no distractions. For me it is an empty football field at night when no one is around.

For Jacob it was Bethel. That place where he first found God. Jacob was confused. His daughter was going out with a young man from Shechem that took advantage of her. When her brothers found out they lashed out and murdered the young man and a lot of people.

Jacob was very upset. His whole life was unraveling. The Lord spoke to Jacob and told him to go back to Bethel.

It is hard to do but we need to think before we react. Jacob's sons did not think long term and what the fallout would be.

"Blessed are those who act justly,
who always do what is right."
Psalm 106:3

Friends, we all have a special place where God met us and changed our lives. That is our Sanctuary. If you can't get there find an alternate place. No matter what make it a priority today to go to your Sanctuary.

Now with regards to evil. Here is a great quote that says the reason evil exists is so God can perform miracles in our lives.

"God judged it better to bring good out of evil than to suffer no evil to exist."
Augustine of Hippo
