My God is Bigger

I wrote the following on the day of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting on December 14.  I still feel the same way.

 

Watch out ... I'm preaching.

Evil is real. It exists in the form of Satan, also know as the devil, Lucifer. Good is also real. It exists in the form of God, his son, Jesus Christ, and in His Spirit.

Have no doubt. The enemy comes to kill, to steal, to destroy. He has done that today. But - hear me clearly, because I am not holding back - MY GOD IS BIGGER. I don't understand this world or its ways. But my God is bigger. Today is as dark as a day could be. But my God is bigger. Evil has run rampant today. And yet ... still ... my God is bigger.

Those who hope in the Lord will soar on wings, like eagles. Let us mourn with those who mourn. Let us cry genuine tears of compassion for those who have lost. But let us also hope in God, who is good. God, who is love. God, who is faithful and true.

There is real evil in the world. Today that is clearly evident. But my God is bigger.

Amen.
