I prayed the morning prayer at breakfast today with my wife. I confessed to the Lord that I was feeling conflicted about the death of Osama Bin Laden. Rejoicing seemed so inappropriate. My wife Donna emailed me the following scripture. I am so glad she did - it helped me and I didn't have to wait till May 24th:
From Proverbs 24:17-21 "Do not rejoice when your enemy falls, and do not let your heart be glad when he stumbles; or the LORD will see it and be displeased, and turn His anger away from him. Do not fret because of evildoers or be envious of the wicked; for there will be no future for the evil man; the lamp of the wicked will be put out."
Chapter 2 post coming later today.
