With the recent shooting in the school in Connecticut, many people are wondering where is God. I ask you one question, are you refusing to recognize God and then when tragedy strikes question His existence? You may wonder why God allows things like this to happen to people He loves. As I sit here typing this I have to use my left hand because my normal hand is out of commission due to an accident. We are in a fallen world and therefore things like these unpleasant circumstances occur. It is up to us to respond in a manner that draw others to God and not turn them away from Him.
We may not recognize God's hand in our circumstances but He is there none-the-less. God is in control of our lives and that is what has kept evil in check as much as it is. God lifts His hand of protection slightly every now and then so we can see the effects of wickedness on the earth. Let us stand with Him as He is already the victor over sin and Satan.
The public school system and its teaching that mankind was not created in the image of God but rather is a piece of matter that evolved as a random process breeds the type of behavior we see in people's value of life going down. If we can recognize that life is a gift from God, we will respect it and seek to preserve it.
Does America face a mental crisis or is there something else going on? I believe what is actually happening is Americans have given Satan a platform to stand on and every once in a while he begins to dance. Jesus Christ is the only way to rid ourselves of this dilemma so ask Him to dwell in your heart today.
God has created men with the desire for mastery and that is why we see wars, rapes, mountain climbing, white water rafting, etc... When this desire for mastery is not under the direction of God we almost always see the kind of mastery that destroys life. Let us seek to allow God to control our desire for mastery.
