Virginia Tech

I could not understand why I had no emotions about the terrible tragedy at Viginia Tech.

I could not feel outrage or sadness.  It was very strange to not have a reaction to the news.  I went home puzzled and couldn't understand why I felt nothing. 

Last night was our Bible study class.  We are studying Daniel Chapter 7.  It is amazing how His Living Word in this chapter was a comfort to the tragedy of Monday morning.  How was it a comfort when I had no feeling?  Well, the comfort is knowing that the Ancient One or in Aramaic, the Ancient of Days, who is our God and Judge over all the earth will be judging those on this earth.  He knows all and what we have done in our lives.  So whatever the reason that person did these terrible things, he will have to answer to the Ancient of Days for his actions. 

This morning in my quiet time with God, I asked him to reveal to me why I had no feelings about this tragedy.  As I stayed quiet and still, I felt a slight release on my heart and my eyes started welling with tears.  In that quick moment, I felt His grip tighten to keep them from becoming a waterfall.  I realized it wasn't that I had no feelings about this at all, He was protecting me from the tragedy as any loving father would do for his child.  What an awesome God He is!
