So, I turned to Psalm 37:1-2.
Do not fret because of evildoers, nor be envious of the workers of iniquity. For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb.
Can I be real with you here? I am ready for verse two more than I can put into words. I am ready for God to rescue His people. He has done it many times before, so I know He can do it again.
Then, I turned to II Corinthians 10:3-4 (NKJV), “For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh. For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds.”
That Scripture was a great reminder that what is going on really is a spiritual battle, far beyond what we are even experiencing in the natural. But I’m going to be really honest here, ok? That still left me empty and tearful. When you are watching someone lying helplessly and being killed, it’s hard to grasp the spiritual implication at that moment. All you see is someone suffering who could be your family member or even you. The thought of it right now has my heart in tears. I still felt helpless, wondering, “God, are You seeing all of this?”
It gets frustrating when we are disrespected, mistreated, gunned down, demoralized, and underestimated on a DAILY basis. But, the truth is, this is nothing new. That’s what breaks my heart. My people are suffering every single day. I have gone from tears to despair to anger to almost rage. I desperately needed to hear from God because my spirit has been so unsettled. So, I leaned in deeper to the Holy Spirit, and then I turned to Exodus 1:6-12.
