Whenever a national tragedy strikes,
it's important to remember...
The story isn't over.
God is still at work... bringing about His story of redemption.
Even in a great tragedy, His purpose to further His kingdom is still being fulfilled...
in multitudes of unseen ways.
If we don't remember this, we'll be immobilized by our grief, anger and fears.
Certainly there's a place for mourning when tragedy comes.
But we should never forget we serve
a God who turns mourning into joy... and that sin and death will not have the last word.
It's with this hope we must continue to love and serve in His name...
And believe that what we do for others as we rule our domains for Him is never in vain.
His story is still being written.
