At this point in our viewing, Morgana, the ward of King Uther Pendragon, has plans to destroy Camelot. The king is completely oblivious to this fact and we have had to endure her bad acting and TONS of episodes that pointed to her guilt, but the king seems not to notice.
It has been driving me crazy. The king turns a blind eye to her evil, probably because she is his daughter (a plot twist we discover in season three). He is inactive and weak because of his love for this woman and her charm. It is not fair and frankly, painful. DOES HE NOT SEE?
I feel this way sometimes in the world. Political and church leaders who are lazy, corrupt, and deceiving others make me crazy. Why? Because they are permitted to continue to keep their position. In some cases, they are promoted to higher positions despite their blatant disregard for integrity because they are charming.
The fact is, sometimes I question God. Why? Do You not see? I mean, of course, I know You see. But why are You so inactive? Where are the lightening bolts reserved for such rotten people?
Unlike the bumbling king in our series, God is the Almighty King and He DOES see. And He is NEVER inactive. His heart does not blind Him, it allows Him to see things perfectly.
Psalm 33:11 "But the plans of the Lord stand firm forever, the purposes of his heart through all generations."
The problem is me. My lack of trust. My lack of faith in His timing, His justice.
I need to remind myself every day that His grace abounds for me as well... I need to remain His humble servant or I am no better than any other.
