Hello

Did you notice the news a few days ago? Over 80 girls burned alive by religious extremists. Lord have mercy!

Here’s today’s nougat

O Lord, how long shall I cry for help and you will not hear? Or cry to you “Violence” and you will not save? Habakuk 1.2

How does a Christian respond to such atrocities, especially in the face of grieving family members? Silence? Pretence that it’s not happening? Decisive action, such as …?

I’m choosing another option, bawling out to God, and asking how I might be the difference next time.

Yes I did say next time. For I don’t think this is the last of such behavior. Not until the return of our messiah, Jesus Christ.

And still we pray. O Lord, how long! Have mercy! As we search for As endto such atrocities.

And we petition as we pray …

And we plan as we pray …

And we protect as we pray …

And we persevere as we pray …

And we press as we pray …

Will you?

In Christ’s love and grace . . .
