Day Six - Horror

Abjection- disgust.  How can a good creator also have within the palette, the seeds, the potential, the permission given for the most heinous crimes, and unbearable atrocities to unfold.  Dave Attenborough cannot bear worms in babies eyes.  But worse are the exploits of the human that would make a worm turn.

Even as Jesus is born, hundreds of babies are smashed on rocks before their parents eyes.  When did the pure spring water turn so feted and fowl?  For now it stinks, and from evil desires spring evil acts.

King Herod, knew the wise men (or Magi) represented the truth.  A baby was coming who would threaten his supremacy.  Like all tyrants, he needed to reduce this risk.  Too late and devoid of conquering power, Herod stabs wildly in the dark at Bethlehem's beautiful innocent babies.

Matthew Chapter 2

14 So Joseph got up, took the child and his mother during the night and left for Egypt, 15 where he stayed until the death of Herod. And so was fulfilled what the Lord had said through the prophet: “Out of Egypt I called my son.”[c]

16 When Herod realized that he had been outwitted by the Magi, he was furious, and he gave orders to kill all the boys in Bethlehem and its vicinity who were two years old and under, in accordance with the time he had learned from the Magi.

The Creator designed this potential outcome, but also ahead of the path of destruction.

PRAYER:  Evil days will come to an end.  We will life freely choosing only goodness.  We will choose to honour and worship the defenceless, innocent baby.
