Where was God at Virginia Tech?
I’m still pretty dumbfounded by what happened on Monday, I’m sure everyone is. I found this article online and thought it was well-presented and written. Hope you guys will take the time to read it, and pray for those at VA Tech, that God would use this horrible incident to bring people to a relationship with him, and that they would find comfort in Him.
Here’s an excerpt from the article:
Another prominent evangelical, Dr. D. James Kennedy of Coral Ridge Presbyterian Church in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., answers the question “Where was God while all this was going on?”
“He was hanging on the cross,” he states in his book Turn it to Gold.
“The cross is God’s ultimate solution to sorrow and suffering. Thus all of our pain is in His heart. Our God does not hold Himself aloof from our difficulties. He is right here, in the midst of our suffering, enduring more of it than any of us ever has or ever will. And not only that, but He gives us the power to bear our suffering.”
