Habakkuk 1:12–2:4This question is addressed to God: “Why, do you gaze on the faithless in silence while the wicked devour the just?”
Why is the wicked not silent, not at peace?
Matthew 17:14–20
“Jesus rebuked the demon, and it came out of him, and from that hour the boy was cured.”
It is very simple with Jesus; he is Love, and as soon as he is near a person, they are healed.
However, the person must allow themselves to be loved by God and welcome his presence within them.
