Reflecting on the Murder of Charlie Kirk: 3 Things You Must Know- An Exposition of Psalm 131

Many of us have been devastated. Shaken to our cores. … by the murder of a man we never met- Charlie Kirk. Who committed this atrocity? A lone gunman? Was it a government conspiracy? Perhaps a foreign government or agency? You crave justice; you hunger for answers—so down the rabbit hole you go.

Podcasts, influencers, & news outlets constantly claim to have “Breaking news.” This voice is sure it’s a transgender shooter. Another, a government conspiracy. Another points to suspicious “timestamps.” You hear of an arrest. Someone then claims the arrest is a scapegoat. It’s exhausting.  Soul-crushingly discouraging. What are we to do with these anxious thoughts in a time like this? We turn where saints have always turned—to God’s Word. Join Pastor Matt as he walks through Ps. 131, where we hear David’s prayer—born in a difficult-to-grasp cultural moment. We don’t know the exact situation behind Ps. 131—& that’s a mercy. God gave it to steady us in many moments, including this one.

If you need consolation as you grieve Charlie Kirk’s assassination, listen in. If you are encouraged, share with a friend who needs peace today.
