Rest For Our Souls
Rest For Our Souls in a Fallen World
There’s no doubt that multiple violent and tragic events are flooding the news cycles 24/7.
On top of the constant bad news headlines, you also have internet trolls laughing at the sorrow of others.
Wicked hearts . . . wicked thoughts . . . wicked schemes.
Friends that I’ve spoken with agree that it feels like it’s almost too much to bear.
As Christians we often carry the weight of every tragedy.
We pray and we wait for God to answer.
We plead for our nation, for our families, and for the victims whose stories break our hearts.
It can cause some sleepless nights.
Can we find rest for our souls during times such as these?
I was recently emailed an article that is one of the most insightful I’ve ever read.
I’m happy to share it with you and I hope it brings you the same encouragement that it did for me and others.
The author, Alan Shlemon, published it on the Stand To Reason website.
You can find it here: “Tragedy Overload.”
Witnessing evil and experiencing suffering will one day come to an end in God’s appointed time.
Until then and through eternity, the peace and rest for our souls is found in Jesus Christ.
