By now many of you have heard at least something about the Casey Anthony trial. It certainly has been on ad nauseum throughout many of the news stations. There are many polarizing views about this woman and whether she deserves to die.
I am not going to voice my view here frankly but I do want to bring up something. We are to wish that justice is done not that she gets what is coming to her so to speak. Our GOD is all about mercy let us remember. If she is guilty, than there are consquences for her actions, but we are not to wish her ill or rejoice in her downfall.
Proverbs 24:17 Do not gloat when your enemy falls, when he stumbles, do not let your heart rejoice, or the LORD will see and disapprove and turn HIS wrath away from him.
Now I am not saying that because people are gloating Casey will be declared innocent. What I am saying is that we are to be better than that. If anything we should be worried about the fate of her eternal soul rather than screaming for her death.
If I might suggest a plan of action it is this. Pray for GOD's perfect justice to be done. This will take place on the other side of the Veil even if it doesn't occur here. Pray for those involved in the trial. That they be motivated by justice with mercy and that malice have no part. And pray for the Anthonys. Regardless of whether Casey is innocent or not, that family needs the healing work of GOD present in their lives.
And people, turn off that trial now and then. There is indeed more to life than one courtroom drama. Go toss a ball with your kids, read a book, listen to music, or visit the museum. The trial will still be there for some time yet.
