Romans 12:20 Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head. 21 Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.
After unleashing severe fire power on the Taliban in Afghanistan it was hoped that their doings would be curtailed. But lo and behold they are back in power, and we had to leave in a hurry, with the vivid images of desperate persons, clinging to the military aircraft in the sky, as they took off, indelibly etched into our memory.
And right here at home, as political parties go after each other’s throat, the inevitable result will only be more divisiveness, as can be seen in the turmoil and unsettled state of the nation.

Proverbs 24:29 Say not, I will do so to him as he hath done to me: I will render to the man according to his work.
May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
