Inconsolable w/o God
2 Chronicles 7:14 if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.
I have sheltered my young boys from the tragedy of yesterday. We had a 24hr vacation planned for my youngest’s birthday yesterday at Great Wolf Lodge. Perfect timing for an escape from the reality of the state of our nation in an act against children both of their ages. The news was just hitting as we were walking out the door to get them from school; I could not stomach it. The more I thought of it, the worse I physically felt. The word of the day seemed to be “inconsolable”. Everyone wants to know the answer to why; but would it make a difference? The fingers will be pointed and the reasons given; but yet will there be change? We have never experienced an attack on the innocence of our children; ages when they only have the joys of life, before life begins to take away that joy and shape them. In just over 10 years removed from Elementary School, he became a demon. We need God now to heal from this tragedy.
We as a nation have turned our backs on God. We have removed Him from our schools; we have removed him from our government; we are steadily removing Him from our lives. The list could go on for pages of the evidence going against the Laws given by God to Moses. The Ten Commandments is lost in the self serving attitudes of today’s society; me, me, me. We have not passed God’s governing laws of conduct into our children, for we did not want to abide by them ourselves. Instead we sit our children behind consoles with that sitter numbing their minds with acts of mayhem; while we pursue our goals or numb ourselves to the pains. God was speaking to Solomon in the dedication of the Great Temple; for God knew that Israel as a nation would turn their backs on Him. But He promises to restore a humble nation that repents before Him; if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways.
2 Corinthians 1:3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, 4 who comforts us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any trouble, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God. There will be no way to ever understand this tragedy. We will never be able to understand the sovereignty of God in allowing the evil of this horror. The one thing for sure is the ability of God to comfort those of us affected by this senseless act. Seeking God is the only place we will find comfort. Satan meant it as evil; meant to turn our hearts against God; meant to only harm our hearts and soul. John 10:10 The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. There are now 20 innocent souls in heaven sitting at the feet of Christ. Life here never had the chance to rob them of their innocence.
