As I contemplate what to say to my readers today, I cannot help but reflect on America’s election results. I must admit that, although I prayed that America would reject the woke agenda, I was fearful that she would choose it. And then what? Would God give us over to our delusions and sinful ways?
“and all the ways that wickedness deceives those who are perishing. They perish because they refused to love the truth and so be saved.” 2 Thessalonians 2:10 NIV
But, America rejected abortion through all months of pregnancy. She rejected the lie of transgenderism which supports the mutilation of our children. She rejected the abandonment of Israel. She rejected many kinds of evil. For this, I am eternally grateful because I love America and could not imagine how I would endure her complete rejection of life and truth.
So I am thankful today and filled with joy. Please believe me when I say, my hope is not in any man. My hope is in God. However, God allows us to make choices. And choices have consequences, as you know.
“This day I call the heavens and the earth as witnesses against you that I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Now choose life, so that you and your children may live and that you may love the Lord your God, listen to his voice, and hold fast to him.” Deuteronomy 30:19-20 NIV
I believe God answered the prayers of many Christians. He has given us more time to enjoy freedom and use it to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ. He has given us more time to speak the Truth in God’s Word.
Many Christians around the world are severely persecuted. For the time being at least, America will not become part of that group. So we must recognize that we have been given a reprieve and take advantage of the fact that we can continue to freely gather in our churches and preach the Gospel with all boldness and unafraid. For the time being, there will be no “misinformation police” to stop the preaching of the Gospel. Be thankful.
Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” Matthew 28:16-20 NIV
Dear Lord, We thank you for your mercy and love. We thank you for all our many blessings. Help us to be doers of the Word. Help us to do everything You want us to do. Give us boldness and wisdom as we interact with the lost. Teach us to walk in love. Give us a deep love for Your Word and a hunger to know it well. Give us discernment, that we might walk in Truth. In Jesus’ Name, we pray. Amen.
In His Love, Cindy
