As the FBI leads the investigation into yesterdays Boston Marathon tragedy, many will be tempted to try to pin the blame on one or more individuals responsible for such loss and suffering.
But even when the investigations of Federal, State, and Local agencies are done, we won’t be at the bottom of this or any evil. What we are watching unfold in public is like what we are suffering in our own private worlds. The evil that brings us to our knees, or that causes us to wave our fist at the skies, is not an isolated incident rooted only in someone’s twisted cause.
From the beginning, a beautiful life has been stalked and shattered by one who wants us to believe that if God withholds anything from us, or if he can’t– or won’t protect us from such suffering, he either doesn’t exist, or doesn’t deserve our trust.
The point is not to simply blame this on the devil but to remember that any evil that we do, or that is done to us, is part of a far bigger story.
