Defeatism is more than bad military policy. It is a lack of faith. There is a God in Heaven and he will not be deaf to the heart cry of his children. The God who parted the Red Sea, who threw down the walls of Jericho, who raised Jesus from the quietude of death, can surely pull a nation back from the brink of self-destruction. Evil may rise for a season, but it is the ultimate in unrealistic thinking, because all of reality belongs to God and behaves as God ordered it. Therefore, evil bears in itself the seeds of its own destruction. We need only have faith to keep working through the night until the light dawns, as it surely will.
Oh, I know there is a God in heaven and that He will hear and answer our prayers...if we ask Him. It seems that many in our land have placed their faith in Gov rather than God and that does not bode well. God has not been kind to the wicked and a society that allows the innocent unborn to be murdered and uses our tax dollars to pay for it is pretty wicked. For the first time in a long time there are more pro-lifers that pro-deathers but we must work to change the law to reflect the will of the people. That seems to be happening less and less. I know that God will prevail over evil, but I have a new baby granddaughter and I don’t want her to live her life in the darkness. That is why I pray and ask others to do the same.
