Terrorists Terrified

Ezekiel 31-32; Psalm 113 & 114; Proverbs 28:2

Terrorists.

The very word brings nightmares to our minds, calamities to our memories and dread to our hearts. But terrorists are mere men. Even a whole terror-working army of men is accountable to our God:

Assyria is there with her whole army; she is surrounded by the graves of all her slain, all who have fallen by the sword. Their graves are in the depths of the pit and her army lies around her grave. All who had spread terror in the land of the living are slain, fallen by the sword. – Ezekiel 32:22-23

Father, may we remember that even terrorists are mere men and not let them alternate the course of our lives. May we stay faithful to You. May we never fear men more than You, and may we remember that our only ultimate hope of lasting life and peace is found in Your Son Jesus Christ. Although we fear You, may our hope in You remind us that You are good and trustworthy, that we never need to fear men, and that even the men we fear need You. May we go about our work of telling people Your good news. No matter who they are.
