Why, my soul, are you downcast? Why so disturbed within me? There was a storm brewing in the sky on the day I took this image in Cades Cove. It was coming - darkness, sadness, sin. Today we mourn again for 9 children and 1 teacher who were killed in a Texas high school. We ask why this evil? How could someone hate so much as to kill innocent children and teachers? The Psalms are full of why questions asked of God. And like this Psalm, the only answer after the questioning was to hope and trust in a God who is sovereign and to seek the comfort only He can give to a fallen world that hurts and mourns. We look to Jesus who wept for his friend Lazarus and for us and then took the cross to defeat death. We sing a broken hallelujah and offer a a sacrifice of praise (Hebrews 13:15).
Prayer Comfort those who mourn. Renew our hope in days of darkness. Amen
