“Following Jesus and Loving People”

 

I hope I never cease to wonder. As I walk and drive about, I often rejoice and thank God for the amazing grace he extends to our nation. The July Fourth celebration, for me, is a lot more than fireworks and picnics. It’s a time to renew prayer for America and to express gratitude for his mercies which are new every morning. I am not old, but I have noticed a shocking decline in the morals of our country. This includes common decency and civility as a whole. Although not pessimistic, I don’t see the possibility of change without a mighty move of God’s Spirit. All around, we see the rotten fruit of our rebellion with God. People are loaded down with guilt and all the complications that come from violence, lies, immorality and broken relationships. And yet, with all our problems, God is still patient and willing to forgive and bless us…if we will come to him. The Psalmist declared, “If you, O Lord, kept a record of sins, O Lord, who could stand? But with you there is forgiveness; therefore you are feared” (Psalm 130:3-4). For any one of us to stand before a Holy God with the list of all our sinful thoughts and deeds would bring immediate condemnation and judgment. However, God offers us forgiveness and life through Jesus! Christ came and traveled this pathway so that we would not have to travel the road of sin and destruction. His death and resurrection is the true hope of our nation! Would you pray with me, that first our own hearts would be tender before God. In 2 Chronicles 7:14, Solomon’s prayer for the nation of Israel starts with, “If my people, who are called by name, will humble themselves and pray…” After personal repentance, let’s pray for the people all around us in this great nation who don’t have the assurance and joy of sins forgiven. Only eternity will reveal how important our prayers have been! Let’s do our part…and trust God to do what only he can do.
