Isaiah 57:21
KJV - There is no peace, saith my God, for the wicked.
NIV - "There's no peace," says my God,"for the wicked."
We were getting ready for bed last night when we saw on the news that the President would be addressing the nation at 10:30 PM. Well, by the time he actually spoke it was past 11:30 and the news was out: Osama Bid Liden was killed in Pakistan by U.S. forces. It is hard not to rejoice over another's misfortune, but this wretched man's life is a testimony of God's justice.
He was a devil driven by hatred. His murderous mind devised nothing but evil toward us and the life we love. But poor little Osama, he never had any peace. I wonder how many peaceful moments this monster has had in the last decade? Even before the 9/11 attacks, his secretive and monstrous mind had no concept of peace. He abhorred the very thought of it, and now he wishes he could come back and tell his demented minions that the hatred that motivated him is now directed toward him.
That paradise with the 72 virgins? Sorry, Buddy, it ain't happening. What God's Word does promise is an eternity in hellfire. Constant and eternal torment. He will have the rest of time to remember every time he rejected God's Holy Spirit, which always points to Christ.
Osama Bin Laden personifies evil. Now, he is dead and the game is up. I wonder what he would tells us now? There are many lost souls out there, devising evil and serving the devil with great enthusiasm. Their destination is the same and the good people of the earth, like the Navy Seals that killed Bin Laden, are God's instruments of justice.
I feel a very deep sense of gratitude to the young men and women who have fought in these difficult wars. I am flooded with emotions: My classes that awful Tuesday morning. How much the world has changed since. The horrible thuds as people leaped to their deaths from the top of the World Trade Center. My prayers are that the death of this wicked man will inspire our nation to rise against evil: not just terrorists, but criminals, drug dealers, baby murderers, pornographers, and the whole range of purveyors of evil.
God bless America. May His eternal hand be upon us. May we strike those who continually perpetuate evil with His justice, and hasten their introduction to the devil they serve.
