“For the Lord is our judge, the Lord is our lawgiver, the Lord is our king; it is the Lord who will save us.”
Isaiah 33:22
Like many of you, I was disgusted, angered, and saddened by the news of the shooting in Nashville this Monday. While every mass shooting is appalling, this one impacted people differently. It happened at an independent Christian school in Tennessee and its victims were school staff and young children. As a father of two young children, this was gut wrenching. And the loose connection that this school shooting has with Perch.Church is that we are a part of a Presbyterian network and the school was an extension of Covenant Presbyterian Church.
Often with these weekly devotionals, I try to send something uplifting or inspirational. I have none of that for you this week. When we live in a country that wants to protects its usage of assault rifles over the protection of its children, I feel utterly helpless. May God help America and may God help us all.
