The Lord’s Resistance Army

From the March 14 issue of World magazine–

“Kony thinks that the strategy of killing civilians will put pressure on the government of South Sudan to reopen the peace talks.” Never-ending peace talks may be just what Kony wants, according to Ngerre: “He has much to gain from this strategy. During the talks Kony gets free food and money. His wives and children are transported from Uganda to come and see him. He gets recognition. That is what he wants.”

Psalm 18
18 They confronted me in the day of my disaster,
but the LORD was my support.

19 He brought me out into a spacious place;
he rescued me because he delighted in me.

20 The LORD has dealt with me according to my righteousness;
according to the cleanness of my hands he has rewarded me.

21 For I have kept the ways of the LORD;
I have not done evil by turning from my God.

22 All his laws are before me;
I have not turned away from his decrees.

23 I have been blameless before him
and have kept myself from sin.

24 The LORD has rewarded me according to my righteousness,
according to the cleanness of my hands in his sight.

25 To the faithful you show yourself faithful,
to the blameless you show yourself blameless,

26 to the pure you show yourself pure,
but to the crooked you show yourself shrewd.

27 You save the humble
but bring low those whose eyes are haughty.

O Lord,
We cry out for the destruction, disruption, and displacement caused by the Lord’s Resistance Army. Support Your children, rescue them, and bring them out into a spacious place. Show Yourself shrewd to Joseph Kony and bring him low. Amen.
