A couple of observations as I watch the wide range of reactions to the huge events of this week.

1. The phrase “If you’re not angry you’re not paying attention” comes to mind.

2. And over against that, as I study for Sunday, the passage from 1 Peter shouts out to me: “You love him even though you have have never seen him. Though you do not see him now, you trust him; and you REJOICE with a glorious, inexpressible joy.” (1 Pet. 1:8, NLT)

There is certainly a hesitation to seem “too happy” over the death of bin Laden. But I am finding there is a hesitancy to be happy over anything these days. We just have the propensity to gripe. (And, it’s fun. No lie.)

But our eyes need to be UP. Our view needs to be on HIM. And as believers, maybe we could say, “If you’re not happy, you’re looking in the wrong direction.” 😉
