Our country needs a fresh explosion of repentance and surrender to Jesus
Christ as Lord of all; we need to welcome Him and the Bible BACK into our
nation and our daily life. We have kicked Him and His Word out only at our
peril and we are daily reaping the negative results. Complaining in our
streets is rampant; drugs, drunkenness; greed and corruption and corporate
graft is atrocious; alternative lifestyles are not sin for which to be
ashamed and come to repentance and find deliverance in God—instead, they are
promoted and reason is found for pride therein; our economy remains
suppressed with high unemployment and no “robust” recovery in clear sight.
“If My people” (2 Chronicles 7:14) is more than a slogan; it is more than a
campaign rally cry during political season; it is a LIFE ALTERING surrender
to our God who made us and who still holds out His hands of redeeming grace.
We are surely reaping the confusion that reigns when one kicks God away
(“the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom”)—so we who are His need
to remain on our knees in intercession for our country, for its leaders and
its people. We need to continue to cry out for God’s mercy to prevail.
If you put your trust in men and women in office—then trust is misguided. We
trust God and love people. Now those who succeeded in their battle to be
elected need to step up and govern. But they need to do so with the fear of
God, a love for Him and His Word, a respect for life and the unborn, and
with righteousness as their goal and desire. No one is yet perfect, so our
support and loving concern and prayer need to continue.
If My People—let us continue to let God’s command grip our souls as we trust
in Him; as we look into the face of Jesus for His mercy and grace; as we
repent from the sins which so easily beset; as we cry out for God for fresh
revival. After all, the deepest change comes not necessarily from the ballot
box but from one heart at a time, changed by the Holy Spirit—from one person
at a time being saved and delivered by Jesus Christ Himself. Let us
continue to pray. Let that be OUR Election Aftermath.
