9/11

In Proverbs 11:7 God's wisdom is seen through Solomon's words:
"When the wicked man dies, his hope perishes; all he expected from his power comes to nothing."
Those who hijacked the airplanes and became murderers, their power ended with their deaths. Their hopes, dreams, faiths, beliefs, legacies all ended in the twinkling of their eyes. Once they took their last breaths, they would have nothing more to say.
Once their wicked plans were accomplished, the goodness of God took over.
God's righteousness was seen in those whose last acts of bravery will shine through the lives of others forever. Their last breaths were taken while trying to save life. The men and women who rushed into the burning buildings to help people get out before the towers collapsed gave their lives to help moms, dads, sons, daughters, husbands and wives live another day. Those who were rescued, will remember those who died in their wickedness and those who died to save. Those who rescued, their hopes, will live on in their children, because their children will want to grow up honoring their loved one for the sacrifice that they made on the behalf of another.
