PARIS, THE NIGHT THE TEARS BEGAN
In the hours since the terrorist
attacks in Paris, I find solace in Scripture. These times, and
events are but the herald of darker days ahead. I pray for the
families of those killed. For those who now must carry on without
their loved one. Carry on until that great day of celebration when
believers meet again in heaven or the New Kingdom on Earth. Pray
that our loving Father and our Savior will encompass those left
behind with courage, strength, fortitude, mercy and most of all love.
1Th 3:3 so that no one would be
unsettled by these trials. For you know quite well that we are
destined for them.
Psa 9:9 The LORD is a refuge for the
oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble.
Joh 16:33 "I have told you these
things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have
trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world."
2Co 1:3 Praise be to the God and
Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God
of all comfort,
2Co 1:4 who comforts us in all our
troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the
comfort we ourselves receive from God.
2Th 1:6 God is just: He will pay back
trouble to those who trouble you
2Th 1:7 and give relief to you who are
troubled, and to us as well. This will happen when the Lord Jesus is
revealed from heaven in blazing fire with his powerful angels.
When the news becomes oppressive, and
it seems that there is nothing good remaining, seek Jesus, call His
name, place your trust in Him. Use the most powerful weapon on the
planet, the power of prayer!
