What a day in the news. Protests and riots now exists in Morocco, Tunisia, Libya, Egypt, Israel, Lebanon, Iraq, Yemen and surprise surprise Iran. All day I have been flipping between CNN, MSNBC and FOX News always searching for the latest news. What blew my mind was the cause of all of the Mid-East uprising, a YouTube video and I have to admit that this morning and afternoon I sat back in my chair wrongly judging the Muslims for these atrocities. It was a few hours ago when I watched the video for myself and I was ENRAGED, heck I was ready to riot and demand justice even as a Jew!
Yet, there is no excuse for what's going on. This video was only one video, one website and there are thousands of sites that denounce Islam or speaks ill of Mohammed. Why was this one so different? I don't know, but in a time like this it is fitting we turn back to the Bible. Read Ezekiel chapter 38. In particular, read 38:13. I cannot say if today's news has a bearing on prophecy, but let us hope it is God's will.
Precious Lord, I pray that all of these disturbing events fit in to Your Divine will. Let those of us who are Believers in You find solace in Scripture and prayer. Help us not to judge.
