The way I see it, there are two ways of looking at the tragedy that happened yesterday: You can sit around thinking that the world has gone to crap and that things are just going to keep getting worse from here.  You can think that no good is left in humanity and there is nothing but worse catastrophes and doom to follow this one. You can focus on the “limbs flying over people’s heads.” You can focus on just the damage that was done…

OR you can choose to look at this horrible act of violence another way.  You can focus on how many people jumped into immediate action to pull barricades and debris off of others.  You can focus on how many people tore their clothes off their bodies in an attempt to stop the bleeding of the victims.  You can consider it a miracle that there were already so many EMTs waiting at the finish line to tend to the runners.  You can consider it a miracle that only two of the five possible bombs went off.  And you can consider it a miracle that everyone in “very” critical condition lived through the night.

Since the bombing in Boston, on my twitter and Facebook feed, I’ve been seeing a lot of comments from people saying that they are losing, or have lost their faith in humanity…and this way of thinking is just wrong.  I thoroughly believe that people who are expressing these kinds of thoughts are buying what the devil is selling.  Satan wants this to happen, people.  He wants us to lose hope, and faith, and believe the worst in each other.  He wants us to believe that “humanity” is lost, and that good can no longer prevail.  DON’T BUY INTO IT.

God was in this situation guys.  HE is the only one that our faith needs to be in.  Don’t put your faith in humanity in the first place.  That’s where Satan wants it, and that’s where he wants you to lose it.  What happened yesterday was terrible and heartbreaking.  It shouldn’t be taken lightly or down played.  But!…it could have been so, so much worse and it wasn’t.  And that’s because God was in control.
