We Are Raising the World Changers

Today I watched videos of college students reacting to the news of Charlie Kirk’s assassination. They laughed. They cheered. “Girl, somebody had to do it,” one child who thinks she’s smart said to the interviewer. Post after post on social media shows young people in my own small Texas town celebrating the death of a peaceful young father of two–a man who actually felt that what he was doing would help to stop violence because, as he said, “When people stop talking, that’s when violence happens.”

The Eyes of the Heart

Recorded in Psalm 119 we find meditations and prayers that lift the eyes of our hearts to gaze upon the face of God. Oh, that the eyes of our hearts might be opened to behold the majestic beauty of His law, and that His truth might be inscribed upon our minds. This marvelous chapter is filled with treasures to be hidden in the soul, for by them a man may keep his way pure. May the God of heaven grant us grace to treasure these words, lest we, like Samson, be lulled by the charms of Delilah and awaken in the darkness of disgrace. “Lord, have mercy upon us. Quicken the eyes of our hearts to see the danger of what we look upon. Give us holy desires to seek what is pure and undefiled. Fix our gaze upon the cross, and strengthen us to flee from every corruption.”
