God Is Greater

I'm thinking a lot today about the bombings in Boston, and all the lives that were affected by them directly and indirectly. It would be very easy to let my mind slip into a mood of despair and fear if I let it. But despite this horrific act against human life, I'm reminded that God is greater. He is greater than anyone who planned and implemented this bombing, He's greater than any fear, pain and loss we may be experiencing as a result.

God is aware of all that is happening in our lives, and is still in control and will always lead us to a positive outcome--love. It's difficult to see this truth sometimes, or to believe it, but, nevertheless, it is true.

We are not alone. God is still with us and is greater than any circumstance. He always has been, and always will be. He is our peace and protection no matter what. Nothing can change this truth, but only by believing and trusting in Him and acting on our faith will we really know it as being true. It takes constant practice, but it's worth the effort.
