God Doesn’t Always Settle His Accounts This Month

I once heard of an agnostic farmer who wrote to the editor of his local newspaper, who was a Christian. He said, “In defiance of your God I plowed my fields this year on Sunday, I disked and fertilized them on Sunday, I planted them on a Sunday, I cultivated them on Sunday, and I reaped them on Sunday. This October I had the biggest crop I have ever had. How do you explain that?"  The editor replied: “God does not always settle his accounts in October and bring judgment to those who have sinned against him.” We can be sure that God is righteous and fair and will settle His accounts in due time.” (Lou Nicholes, Word of Life Fellowship, Schroon Lake, NY).
