Do Nothing?

>>DEAR GOD, HOW DO WE STOP THIS MONSTER AND ALL HIS SUPPORTERS? --me

>>We don't. --What someone thinks the Word says

Yeah? Did you tell that to the folks after Pearl Harbor?

Sorry, not to demean your possibly faith-strengthening intent, but the proffered ameliorations do not seem to me to answer the question. They eventually self-immolate so we only need wait patiently for that? Let me think... No. The robber in my house may ultimately end up in Hell, but he could kill my children now.

Trust absolutely, as if everything were in the hands of the Almighty, yes, indeedy.

Act, however, as if the Almighty had delegated full responsibility to you.

It's how I was raised. Eagerly expect the miracle, but don't sit around waiting for it. Something about all that's necessary is for good people to do nothing.
