The world was watching our nation last night, and we witnessed a miracle! It proved to us once again that "None are ever too low for God to lift up, or too high for God to cast down."
But along with Victory comes great responsibility! We, who profess to belong to Christ must not sit down and enjoy the victories of election night.
We must begin to pray faithfully and earnestly for our newly elected President, Vice President, Senate and House.
Then we must humble ourselves and begin to pray earnestly for our nation so in need of a real Holy Ghost, heaven-sent Revival. It must begin in the professing church with soul-searching obedience. Listen to the words of our Lord in the third chapter of Revelation:
"I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth. Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing: and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked."
What a sad, sad picture! I am thankful that the Lord went on to say a few verses later:
"As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent. Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear My voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me."
Yes, the world knows that the Lord has worked a political miracle in our nation; I believe He would like to work a spiritual one, too --- will we let Him?
"Obedience brings the blessing"!
