Yesterday our President said, “…The world has always been messy.”

He’s right.

As I watched the news and lamented over the brutality of ISIS, one picture filled my mind. It’s a scripture from the book of Isaiah:

…All men are like grass, and all their glory is like the flowers of the field. The grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of our God stands forever. Isaiah 40:6

Think about it. Whatever ISIS is doing and whatever our government is not doing, this is the truth – God is watching over us and his ears hear our prayers for peace. 

Here’s more truth to comfort you:

He brings princes to naught and reduces the rulers of this world to nothing. No sooner are they planted, no sooner are they sown, no sooner do they take root in the ground, than he blows on them and they wither, and a whirlwind sweeps them away like chaff. Isaiah 40:23-24

Regarding barbarians like ISIS: We have nothing to fear. Our God is stronger and His ears hear our prayers.

Jesus never worried about men and what they could do to him. We are His followers. So today Lord, we ask in your name that you blow them away like chaff. Blow them all away.
