We don’t know the why of what happened at the mosque in Mecca. We do know God is still on his throne, judging nations, controlling weather, and overseeing the rise and fall of leaders. He is just. Consequently, “We the People” must be extremely careful about our reaction to the “accident” that occurred in Mecca. We must pray for the wounded and the families that loss loved ones. We never know when another natural or man-made tragedy might strike here in America. We do know the Bible is full of if/then statements promising rewards for obedience and punishments for apostasy.
Indeed, I shudder when I think about how far America has strayed from her biblical roots. Christians and Jewish believers know about a prescription for national security. It is found in 2 Chronicles 7:14, where we are told:
If my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land ESV).
Let us pray and move forward with deep appreciation for our biblical roots as a nation greatly blessed over the centuries.
