Written in response the the explosions in the Moscow Metro March 29,2010.
A dear friend of mine shared this quote with me today by
John MacArther, " When believers are in a place of obedience they are in a place of safety, no matter the circumstances. The place of security is not the place of favorable circumstances, but the place of obedience to God's will..."
We are not exempt from the pain and effects that sin brings into this world but on this day we and those we know were shown the great mercy of our Lord. We thank Him for His mercy and ask that it would extend to the families of those who died yesterday and those injured. We pray for reconciliation between Russia and the Chechen people. We ask that they would receive the Lord's love and forgiveness and there find the strength and love to extend it to one another.
After class today, we went to pray and take flowers to the metro stations where the blasts occurred.
(picture on the bottom is a information stand located in the middle of each metro platform, it reads: Moscow Mourns/Grieves.)
