This weekend my husband and I spent time with my sister
and brother-in-law who brought a group of kids from their church and a few in
the community to see the show “Medieval Times” at Broadway on the Beach.
Right after we finished having lunch, one of the patrons at the restaurant told
us about the tragedy that occurred at Sandy Hook Elementary School this
morning. As with any decent human being would feel, our hearts dropped and we
began to pray for the victims and everyone affected by this unspeakable act.
As we talked about the kids who we were with this
weekend, watching the excitement and awe in their faces, our hearts ached for
the horrific news about the innocent lives lost at Sandy Hook Elementary School
this morning. Whether at Columbine High School, Virginia Tech or the deadliest
school massacre in U.S. history that occurred in 1927 at Bath Township
Elementary School in Michigan, lives will never be the same.
“Why” is always the resounding word that comes after the
initial shock of such a horrific occurrence. However, nothing dispels the fact
that evil is evil and there is no proper way of putting it. You can’t label it,
you can’t comprehend it and you can’t explain the perpetrator’s motives . We
ask this day and all the days of our lives that we shall put on our whole armor
of God, be diligent in our prayer life and strengthen our relationship with God!
We can’t walk around in fear each day, but we must walk in faith and believe in
our protection from The LORD.
We pray for God to grant encouragement, comfort and hope
in each of the lives affected by this morning’s tragic events. These killing
sprees must end. God’s power conquers the Devil’s powers. We have access to God’s
powers or the Devil’s curse. It’s up to us to choose which one to relate to and
embrace. As long as we live we may not ever be able to eradicate the presence
of evil, but we have the ability to bring down and destroy it with the power we
ask God to give us.
