For any of us, God beholds what is done and who is served in secret without fanfare (Matt 6:3-4). (To be sure, he is so often the one serving me in secret, without fanfare.)
Seeing Stephen
The God Who Sees
Sons of Abraham
There is no easy fix for the human tragedy that is unveiling before our very eyes. While we pray for our leaders to make wise national security decisions, we must also pray that all sides, Arab and Israeli, Jews and Muslims, see each other as God sees each of them. There is no policy, decision or legislation that can bring this about. Hatred as strong as that which currently exists can only be overcome by the working of a sovereign God whose love is stronger than hatred itself.
