The word 'Evil' can be defined in several ways. It could mean morally bad; wicked, disagreeable or unpleasant, unlucky; causing misfortune. We tend to forget that evil in most cases has a human face. Evil in the world is perpetrated by humans. Wars don't just happen, they are first contrived within the hearts of men.
Terrorism, Arson, exploitation, 'corruption', rigging and child trafficking are some examples. Humans are used to propagate these acts. Unhealthy rivalry between two men often leads to war between Nations, carried out by soldiers sworn to carry out orders. While we blame the devil, we can't discountenance the fact that certain atrocities are committed by humans deluded by their positions or wealth to visualize themselves as God.
The end for these human mediums is mostly tragic unless they repent. Our 'omnipotent' God, though slow to anger is a jealous God. Humans that subvert his authority by alluding to 'omnipotence' eventually have to submit to him. "Even the king of pop had to bow down to the King of Kings".
Evil will continue to linger as long as humans remain on the face of the earth. It thrives more when the righteous do nothing. God's children are shielded from Evil or given the strength to conquer. Let's not despair in the face of evil. 'Sorrow may endure for the night but joy comes in the morning'. 'Do not be overcome by evil but overcome evil with good'.
