With the announcement last night that our United States Navy Seals have killed Osama Bin Laden, many people have begun to rejoice and claim that justice has been served.
The only justice we should care about is the judgment that comes from the Lord.
I am not condemning anyone, especially not the Navy Seals, who were following orders.
I am not judging those who say this was the best thing to happen since the 9/11/01 attacks.
I am not judging those who say this was the worst thing to happen either.
While I may or may not agree with the fact that this man was evil incarnate, it is not my place to judge him or kill him.
I pray for those Navy Seals and our government officials who planned and carried out this attack. May they be forgiven by the Lord our God, and may the world be a more peaceful place. Amen
Proverbs 24:17-18
"Do not gloat when your enemy falls; when he stumbles, do not let your heart rejoice, or the LORD will see and disapprove and turn his wrath away from him."

Finally someone who puts my thoughts on "paper" I've been feeling this same thing all day. He was a lost soul, God never rejoices in lost souls dieing. Thank you for this post.
