You Know Best
******************
My heart faints in this desert land
where water’s needed from your Word
I see the fruit of wicked thoughts
and wonder how you bear what’s heard
~
The raucous songs of sinful tongues
are sung along this earthly road
where victims of the lyrics lie
without a peaceful place to go
~
Even within the rooms of homes
others can harm those in their care
again I wonder how You stand
to see such hurting everywhere
~
Yet I still hope upon your grace
that You know best and see it all
For not one hair of your servant’s head
goes unnoticed when it falls.

At night,
when I rest my head on my pillow,
my thoughts usually turn to the news and events of the day.
Recently I asked God how He can stand it all.
How can He bear the sounds of crying mothers,
and how does He cope with the broken hearts of fathers
who struggle to protect their families?
The morning after asking God these questions,
I found today’s verses and posted them on these pictures.

Old pains
won’t come to mind
on the new earth.

When I think of the lucrative “kiddie porn’ market and the abuse of so many innocent children, I wonder why He doesn’t wipe mankind off this earth. I’m sure it must break His heart to see these evils done in secret, and perpetuated in the broken lives that result.
Christine, the only comfort I can think of is that those atrocities will not be remembered by the victims once they’re in Heaven. It’s no wonder the earth will be melted down and remade. We’ve covered it with ugly scars. Praise God for the beautiful wounds in His Son’s hands and side or we’d all be eternally lost. ❀
Such a beautiful thought in the midst of this weeks’ evil. Thank you, Wendy, for the reminder that in the end, we really DO win! 🙂
Thank you, Hope. This is one story I’m glad we’ve been given the spoiler for… and may our lives be used to lead others to the Victorious One. ❀
