Tragedy

I debated whether or not to talk about the tragedy that happened with Troy Davis, and I honestly can't overlook what has happened. Even this morning as I prayed for his family, I had to tack on some words for our nation as well.

I just don't get it.

We are a nation founded on equality and justice for all, yet we are the one nation that has so many inequalities and imbalance it doesn't make sense. Free is a relative term I guess.

Sadly, all of the activism, protests, and methods that were done to try to save Troy's life probably won't overflow into a movement for the other injustices that are plaguing our nation. We won't march for real change. We won't petition to get at the root of the problem.

It's just the American way.

Again, I don't get it.

That's why I'm glad America at least acknowledges God and gives us freedom to serve Him. We have the opportunity to introduce others to His love. We should always be stirred to lead others to Christ. The real injustice is allowing people to perish in their sins. We should be moved with compassion to let others experience the joy of the Kingdom of God.

In Christ we can avoid the pitfalls of life by the Holy Spirit's guidance. We can rest assured knowing that whatever comes our way, our souls are anchored in the Lord.

Verse of the Day: Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen. Matthew 28:19, 20
