Beloved,
As many of you know today America celebrates..but what is the glorious occassion? The death of a terriorist. Today, not only as an American citizen but as a believer my heart is grieved.As big of a win this may be to some, we throw parties over a man's death but yet the real issue has yet to be faced.Although the death of Osama may be infact in some form or fashion justice for those who lost families to the war we must sober up and realize that this by no means stops terriorm. Im sure osama had no problem dieing.That is what there culture after all is known best for doing. Dieing for what they believe. There is no victory won in his death but it is a great loss. Why do I say this? Because America has been decieved if we believe that the killing of innocent babies (abortion) everyday in this nation holds no weight,but the killing of one man is worth celebrating.
reading many posts on facebook today this in fact is one of my favorites.. " Tell them osama dead without a body they celebrate. Tell them Jesus died for them and rose without proof of a body and they speculate."
This statement alone holds so much weight. We would rather celebrate a body we have yet to see but when it comes to Christ dieing it is questioned.. when are we going to wake up? Take a look at everything that is happening around us.. the Lord is shaking this nation but we are too busy celebrating the death of one man.Innocent children are dieing and lawlessness is sweeping throughout the land.
James 4: 1-3
Why do you fight and argue with each other? Isn't it because you are full of selfish desires that fight to control your body? 2You want something you don't have, and you will do anything to get it. You will even kill! But you still cannot get what you want, and you won't get it by fighting and arguing. You should pray for it. 3Yet even when you do pray, your prayers are not answered, because you pray just for selfish reasons.
We must wake up America and realize that this battle is not won through death but it is won through prayer. Now is not the time to celebrate because there is much more to come. If we beleive that it ends with osama then we have fooled oursleves once more.Its time to turn our hearts back to God. Its time for America to wake up and get bloody knees !!
