can u imagine it is still possible for someone in this decade to make the immortal sin of saying "we shall teach them what civilisation is"? sometimes, in my heart i know that there are worse sins a man can do than that but when it comes from someone like bush, a person in authority and power over nations, then you really really wonder if the third world war is coming.
but enough of speculations. if you asked me, i don't know which side i should be on. my heart is torn in both ways. one says that bush might be doing a good thing, perhaps he can end the dictatorship of sadaam hussein but another says "then why are helicopters colliding and men going mad in their base camps, flinging grenades at their own commander's camp? why did he say that it is not enough to kill sadaam hussein but the whole regime? when will the killing stop? there seems to be no end to hatred, war and strife!"
and so the debate goes on in my head. the more i think, the more my heart grieves. i don't see the promised end, peace and freedom, of this war. my heart wants to hope for the best, to pray for the best outcome but inside it cowers from pain and suffering, from the possibility that all will and has already failed.
psalm 46
God is our refuge and strength,
an ever-present help in trouble.
Therefore we will not fear, though the
earth give way
and the mountains fall into the heart
of the sea,
though its waters roar and foam
and the mountains quake with their
surging.
There is a river whose streams make
glad the city of God,
the holy place where the Most High
dwells.
God is within her, she will not fall;
God will help her at break of day.
Nations are in uproar, kingdoms fall;
he lifts his voice, the earth melts.
The Lord Almighty is with us;
the God of Jacob is our fortress. (Selah)
Come and see the works of the Lord,
the desolations he has brought on the earth.
He makes wars cease to the ends of
the earth;
he breaks the bow and shatters the
spear,
he burns the shield with fire.
Be still, and know that I am God;
I will be exalted among the nations,
I will be exalted in the earth."
The Lord Almighty is with us;
the God of Jacob is our fortress. (Selah)
