And the king (Herod) was exceedingly sorry; but because of his oaths and his guests he did not want to break his word to her. (His wife’s daughter) And immediately the king sent a soldier of the guard and gave orders to bring his (John the Baptist) head. He went and beheaded him in the prison, and gave it to the girl; and the girl gave it to her mother. When his disciples heard of it, they came and took his body, and laid it in a tomb. Mark 6:26 – 29
Lord this is so hard to understand. Why would something like this take the life of someone that had given his all to call others to ‘come follow You.’ What a horrible way to die. It just doesn’t seem right. But then there are a lot of things that don’t seem right because we can’t see them through Your eyes Lord. I’m so glad You know all and see all.
Thank You that I don’t have to be in control. I can leave those decisions up to You.
Thank You Lord.
