February 8
The mindset of those who have grown up in Twentieth Century America is focused on wealth and power. We have lived in the greatest nation that has ever existed during man’s sojourn on earth. We have enjoyed personal freedom and financial stability. We have trusted our government to maintain our freedom through its strength and to share its abundance with those less fortunate.
We have come to a troubling place in our experience, for the things we thought were unshakable have been and continue to be shaken. The integrity of those we’ve elected to represent us is questionable. It seems they not only fail to share our values but they are bent upon destroying those values and imposing the rule of godlessness upon our nation.
At such a time as this, we find the faith of our fathers also being disparaged. Where the law of God was once extolled and was once foundational to the law of the land, where once assent was given to the rightful authority of Jesus Christ over us, we find that name which is above all names (Philippians 2:9) is not even allowed to be mentioned in the public forum today!
People of faith find themselves reduced in hope and discomfited in spirit because of the aspersions that are being cast upon the Holy One whom we know to be the only Savior of the world and the only God. But we take hope from His own words in Matthew 5:3, “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven.” Jesus will come in great power and glory and when He does, the coffers of those who believe will be eternally full!
