Peace
Perhaps you have heard of the dramatic bomb-related suicide on the OU campus during the football game last night. Perhaps you haven't. Nobody knows yet who it was or what the motivations were.
I walked that sidewalk almost every day for four and a half years. How often did I look at someone who had fantasies of something like that? How often did I brush shoulders with someone who might be wondering right now why that person didn't get closer to the stadium holding 84,000 people? How often did I pass people who have no idea what peace is? Did I pass someone who is planning something worse? The only thing I know is that this person did not know peace.
Right now I am convicted to beg God's peace over our campuses. This prayer obviously needs to be prayed over everything, but I figure that praying for intercession on our campuses is God's little role for me.
People need to know God's peace. Please God, let them know your peace.
