Boston

Questions.  I'm sure that there are so many questions this morning. Non-believers are asking if there is a God, how can He let this happen. Those straddling the fence are asking if they should stay in the world or continue to push through to the Kingdom.  And even Believers are asking, yet asking for faith & strength & comfort. However, those that do believe know these things:
1. God gives us free will yet He is still in control. He allows us to make choices and He responds to those choices. Ultimately, His will prevails.
2. ALL things, all things work together for the good of those that love the Lord. 
3. We live in society where we don't want God ANYWHERE, out of the workplace, out of schools, out of politics, out of media & television...and then in the face of tragedy, we ask WHERE'S God?             
4. While it may not be seen in our life time, while it may not be seen by the masses but only by individual persons or families, know this: GOD WILL MOVE! In His time, in His way, HE WILL MOVE!
I encourage you, to continue to pray for the city of Boston, every person impacted by this awful crime.  Pray for leadership on every level, from local to our POTUS, that righteous decisions are made & swift justice prevails.  But also, look for the smallest blessings, the tiniest of miracles and then inspired to be a blessing or make way for a miracle.  God blesses people through people.  For the evil in this world cannot succeed if we choose to focus on the good.  Tragedy can tear down or tighten bonds.  The choice is ours. 
Heavenly Father, I pray for you to move...in the hearts of those impacted, in the hearts of those who lost have lost loved ones, in the hearts of leadership, and in the hearts of everyone reading this.  Heal the wounded. Take the lost into your arms eternally.  And for those committed this awful deed, have your way, Lord. Bring them to justice, earthy justice & spiritual justice. You are the author & finisher...
