My brothers and sisters, we must pray for our nation, and especially right now, for Former President Trump and all of those who protect him in the U.S. Secret Service. We should also pray that any other injuries will be minor and that whoever is responsible for this evil and shameless attack is brought to justice.
1 Timothy 2:1-3 (ESV)
“First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people, for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and dignified in every way. This is good, and it is pleasing in the sight of God our Savior…”.
Let’s also shine the light of Jesus – even in the face of this evil. Let’s continue to be the hands and feet of Christ, with unwavering faith in our Savior. The Answer is always Jesus, not additional violence and the seeking of retribution. Vengeance belongs to the Lord.
