Good Tuesday morning! It seems that so many dark storm clouds are gathered all around us that spiritually we find it difficult to even breath in our Christian life. Natural disasters, terrorist threats, government mismanagement, unbelief in all walks of life, sins in the church, and pretty much anything else you can think of threatens us daily. 2 Chronicles 7:14 seems to fit my nation so well right now that I want to shout it out, or in my case print it in big letters. However, where I am led this morning is in a different direction. Thank you Lord Jesus for saving me, for saving my friends - those I now call my brothers and sisters in Christ, and for providing your grace in our daily lives. Thank you Lord Jesus for all those in this nation who do believe in You and pray daily for a healing, cleansing wave to sweep across our land. Thank you for the awakening movements of the Spirit that have graced our nation's history, and thank you for the next Great Awakening. Thank you for churches open to your Spirit and ministering to those who will believe. Thank you for Christians who believe and share the Good News of Jesus Christ. Thank you, Lord, for those whose lives stand out as shining beacons in a dark world of sin. Let our lights shine forth as the darkness grows so that your great light may come to our nation once more. Forgive us please for the altar of abortion in our nation where so many lives have been exterminated in the name of convenience and unbelief. Teach us, Lord, to trust in You, and not in the institutions of this world or in our own understanding. Look on us in mercy and blot out our many sins.
Our spirit at times is willing, but our flesh is weak. Praise God that His Holy Spirit is always about the Father's work, and that our Lord is strong in saving grace. Don't be afraid. Pray and seek God's face in humble adoration. Turn from the ways of wickedness so prevalent in our world. Endure to the end. Wait upon the Lord.
