Human nature seems to find ways to justify its wrongdoing, to move ahead with what serves its self-interests, and then to figure out an explanation so it doesn’t sound so bad.
Deliver me from my enemies, O God; protect me from those who rise up against me. Deliver me from evildoers and save me from bloodthirsty men. See how they lie in wait for me! Fierce men conspire against me for no offense or sin of mine, O LORD. . . . But I will sing of your strength, in the morning I will sing of your love; for you are my fortress, my refuge in times of trouble. O my Strength, I sing praise to you; you, O God, are my fortress, my loving God. (Psalm 59:1-3, 16-17)
The special people God gives us along the way make us stronger to face the trials of an ugly world.

“And there’s something you can do for me. Pray for me every day, because I really need it. If a person working in this office doesn’t realize his need for God’s wisdom, he just really doesn’t understand what’s going on.”
