The FBI estimated that 16,935 people were murdered in the United States in 2024, and that only 61.4 percent of murder offenses that year were cleared. In a national study of 1,753 young adults (Rheingold and colleagues, Journal of Traumatic Stress, 2009), 15.2 percent said a family member or close friend had been killed by criminal or vehicular homicide. Behind each of those numbers is a family: a phone call in the middle of the night, a courtroom that keeps postponing, a chair at the table that stays empty, and a prayer that sounds a lot like an accusation.
I Will Stand at My Guard Post is a 30-day devotional through the book of Habakkuk. It is written for families who have lost a loved one to murder.
Inside
- How Long?: the cry, the violence, the law that seems paralyzed, and a God who seems not to hear
- Why Are You Silent?: an answer that makes it worse, a God too pure to look on evil, and a father who walks out of a Sunday service
- At My Guard Post: the watchtower, the written vision, the waiting, and the righteous who live by faith
- Woe: five woes against the violent, the stones that cry out from the wall, and justice that belongs to God
