As we approach the election in a few days (if Jesus tarries), I keep thinking of the sobering words in Isaiah: "Watchman, what of the night? Watchman, what of the night?"
Perhaps the Lord would answer us in the words of II Chronicles 7:14:
"If My people, which are called by My name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land."
Or would He have to say these very sad words from Ezekiel:
"And I sought for a man among them, that should make up the hedge, and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I should not destroy it: but I found none. Therefore have I poured out my indignation upon them. . ."
"Rise up, O men of God! Have done with lesser things.
Give heart and mind and soul and strength to serve the King of Kings!
Rise up, O church of God! From vain ambitions turn.
Christ rose triumphant that your hearts with nobler zeal might burn!
Rise up, O men of God! His kingdom's task embrace.
Redress sin's cruel consequence; give justice larger place!
Lift high the Cross of Christ! Tread where His feet have trod!
As followers of the Son of Man, Rise up, O church of God!"
--William Merrill
Sister, Hood I have been Sooooo worried over this election. And I as I know others are also and have been praying without ceasing. I have had a peace in my Heart tho' the closer it gets that God is in control. Meaning which ever candidate wins its Gods will. That its in his will weather it be the candidate I want to win or the other one. I think his plan is in progress even tho we don't know What it is. It's going as planned. All I can do is continue to pray for our Country without ceasing. Love this little note that you shared with us. As all of the others that you have written and other Friends do as well. May God continue to Pour out his Blessings on you, As you continue to Bless us with these little notes of Love, To us. Thank You❤️
