Matthew 2:16 (NIV)
When Herod realized that he had been outwitted by the Magi, he was furious…
Can we even begin to comprehend the suffering imposed on the families in Bethlehem because of one man’s hysterical fears? This was typical behavior for Herod, who had murdered even his own family members. This spirit of murder lives on in the hearts of evil rulers around the world today. God sees injustice and cares about broken lives. He is the God of justice, and no evil deed escapes Him. He has mandated His Church to act as a conduit of His love, mercy, and care. How will we relieve the pain and oppression of those around us? How will we feed, clothe, and protect those who are unable to care for themselves? Today, pray for the innocents throughout the world who are suffering under the dictatorship of evil humanity.
