I have mixed feelings about using “the Lord’s plan” as it is often used as a defeatism. Yes, the Lord has a plan and we all have a part to play, but that doesn’t mean to always “turn the cheek” and lay down when the enemy is at the gates. I feel that a better way to look at this is to ask the Lord what to do in this situation and try your best to follow whatever lead he gives you. Simply giving up and doing nothing is definitely not the answer.

Faith is not defeatism, in fact it’s the opposite.

We carry on even if we see little hope of victory, because we know we aren’t asked to achieve victory, only to do whatever we can, and the rest is up to him.

I couldn’t agree with you more. I am a religious Jew (if somewhat UN-orthodox) so, of course, I KNOW that G-D has a plan. I also KNOW that the Hebrew Holy books, and Canon of Law state emphatically, “If someone is coming to kill you, rise up early, and kill them first.”

The Commiecrats are coming to kill our society, culture, Constitution, country, law, and civilization, nothing less. This is NOT a time for passivity in the name of G-D’s will!
This is the time to affirm that all authority rests in We the People, not in any government, especially one formed against our will.

Keep the Faith.
