And the king (Herod) was sorry; but because of his oaths and his guests he commanded it to be given; he sent and had John beheaded in the prison, and his head was brought on a platter and given to the girl, and she brought it to her mother. Matthew 14:9 – 11
Lord this is so sickening that I can hardly stand to write about it.
John was a wonderful man that had loved and served You his whole life. He loved You and everything he did was to please You.
This was a horrible death. Horrible. Humiliating death. What good are we to find in it.
Lord how often have we said that as we ourselves cry out to You. Why? What purpose does this serve? Where are you Lord? And You call us back to our foundation….this world is not our home…..we are just passing through. There is a home prepared for us. You care! You love us!
Thank You for Your strength and power in our lives. Oh how we need You Lord. We thank You for Your many blessings.
Thank You Lord.
