For the rod of the wicked shall not rest upon the lot of the righteous; lest the righteous put forth their hands unto iniquity. (Psalm 125:3)
Now about that time Herod the king stretched forth his hands to vex certain of the church. (Acts 12:1)
Dr. Roberto Miranda

The scepter of evil will not remain in the land given to the righteous

Evil exists in the world, but God has put a limit on it. We are people of faith who believe that good will ultimately prevail. Events like the Boston Marathon bombing remind us of the mysterious nature of the world, but even in the face of evil, goodness and heroism emerge. In our weaknesses and sufferings, we can become stronger and better channels for God's grace to flow. We pray for those who have been affected by the tragedy and hope they find peace and spiritual strength. God's love still has the last word. Read more...
