And she (Herodias daughter) went out and said to her mother, “What shall I ask?” (Herod had said she could have anything because she danced before him.) And she said, “The head of John the baptizer.” And she came in immediately with haste to the king, (Herod) and asked, saying, “I want you to give me at once the head of John the Baptist on a platter.” Mark 6:24, 25
Lord we think there are terrible things going on today in this world but this happened long ago and what a horrible thought to even think something like this. Herodias hated John the Baptist because he told Herod it wasn’t right that he took his brother’s wife. Now she was going to get her revenge. She wanted the head of John the Baptist. What was Herod going to do now. So far he had been able to work around what she thought of John. Now Herod was backed in a corner.
Thank You Lord that You are always with us even when we are backed into a corner. We know You are with us and we thank You.
Thank You Lord. Thank You….
