We have been shocked and in a state of unrest and confusion since the terrorist attack on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.  We realize that we live in a very wicked world.
Genesis 6:5 says, "And God saw that the wickedness of man was great on the earth and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually."  God was speaking about Noah's day.  What must He think now?  How can humans be so cruel as to take thousands of innocent lives?  Only Satan could be behind this chaos and evil. 
We realize that our government cannot totally protect us no matter how hard they try.  We are vulnerable to attacks and violence for we live in a world of sin. 
It is only in God that we can find protection and peace.  Psalm 91:2 says, "He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in Him will I trust." Verse 11 says, "For He shall give His angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all

they ways."  We can be secure in Christ no matter what happens on this earth and we can have peace in Him. 
We can find strength and comfort in the words of Christ.  In John 14:27, it states, "Peace I leave with you, My peace I give unto you, not as the world giveth, give I unto you.  Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid."
The tragedy we have experienced in our nation is one more sign that we are closer to the soon coming of Jesus.  The important issue is, are we ready for Jesus to come?  Are our hearts right with Him?  Do we have a right relationship with Him?  Because of His love and mercy he will come soon.  In the meantime, lets continue to pray for the victims and their families.  Let's pray for the President and leaders of our country that they will seek wisdom from God and do what is right and just.

September 11, 2001 the reality of terrorism touched our American soil as never before.  We were shocked, moved and awakened to the unfortunate taste of true hatred.
