Wickedness

Since no man knows the future, who can tell him what is to come?
No man has power over the wind to contain it; so no one has power over the day of his death. As no one is discharged in time of war, so wickedness will not release those who practice it. (Ecclesiastes 8:7-8, NIV)
Wickedness will not release.
How do you break free?
Only with the aid of a higher power.
The higher power can give you power.
Power over the wind to contain it?
Maybe.
Power over the day of your death?
Absolutely.
Not to change anything,
but to have serenity.
Power to be in the presence of peace.
Peace doesn’t release you, either.
God, hold me in your peace.
Let me always remember
you’re tougher than wickedness.
