I have been pleased for the most part of the Sanford, Florida community's handling of the tragedy in their midst. There have been prayer rallies and marches but blessedly no violence that I know of. This is how a true quest for justice is approached.
I also sadly heard of bounties being placed upon the accused. A worthless and divisive effort, I have been glad that they have come to naught. GOD has provided us with authorities to handle the sword and it was their task to bring in this man. In the proper manner and at the proper time.
I look now to our justice apparatus and our legislature. Though not perfect, we do have one of the better criminal justice systems on the planet. We the people should pray that GOD give them wisdom for this trial as well as discernment. And we should be ready for ANY verdict. True justice may not come on this earth. And as far as the law which this case is testing, our representatives need to take a hard look at it.
Continued prayer over this situation is what is needed. For the deceased's family, for the accused, for those in authority and those who must sit in judgment. So please pray for these people. And please continue to be men and women of peace.
