"God will repay with tribulation those who trouble you..." (2nd Thess. 1:6)


"God will repay with tribulation those who trouble you..." (2nd Thess. 1:6)

If you're like me, you are enjoying the World Cup. Little has changed over the yearsto thisw sport, but there have been various rule changes. One of these is when the team who has the ball is fouled, instead of stopping play immediatley and awarding a free kick, if the referee sees that there is distinct advanage to the offenese, he can allow the play to coninue to its conclusion and then go back and issue a yellow card of warning to the perpetraitor. 

Because we are human and sinful, we often want to see retribution meted out immediately to those who wrong us. Yet God, like a referee, allows "play to continue" to the point where we think that people are literally getting away with murder. Nothing could be further from thee truth. God will indeed punish all evil-doers, but it will happan in His time, not ours.

Fr. John
