Juiced, Finally!

I have thought about the Juice most of the day. I sat there today watching him get sentenced, and of course Shannon and I had our cruel remarks toward him. We both said he was finally getting what he deserved. Then as I thought more about it I'm no better than OJ.

The poor man may have killed his ex-wife and her boyfriend and got away with it, and looked real guilty as he was acquitted. But again there still is that thought maybe he didn't. But this time it was all on video tape and the evidence was clear that he did something wrong. I wonder what has happened with this man? Why has he become so angry over the years? The answer is Satan himself. Satan did all this to him, he caused the anger and the arrogance in this once beloved football player and former actor.

When we do something wrong it's not us behind it, it is Satan. The devil is behind everything that is evil. Satan forged out Hitler's hate and made him one of the most evil men of all time. Satan made Charles Manson crazy and evil. Satan put the ideas behind Jefferey Dahmer to kill and eat all those people. And Satan made the Pharisees kill our King.

I have been reading a book by John Eldridge and it talks about desire in us humans. Our desire can be used for good or evil. Some people have the desire to help others and make themselves to be better. Others follow their evil desires and thrive on them to do evil and harm others to feel satisfaction. Desire is in all of us and sometimes we use it for the wrong reasons. OJ wanted his stuff back so he desired it so much that he did what he did and felt satisfaction in what he did. Now he must feel the wrath of his desire.

Even though I feel good that OJ is behind bars and contained I still feel bad that his legacy has fallen and because of his desire for anger to find satisfaction, he still is one of God creations. It's hard for us to see that point of view, but we all need to look at today and see if we lived a perfect life. Of course we didn't, so how can we condemn OJ and not forgive him when we ourselves in God's eyes are just as guilty as him. A SIN IS A SIN in His eyes. WOW, isn't life just not fair. Trust me one day it will be fair! But only when we can see the way God sees it!
