It is easy to carp... hard to make the appropriate efforts to restore courage where it has been lost.
America has been put to a test and it is fumbling badly.
Now are we going to follow on to the situation by sitting on the sidelines and crowing with contempt (something the devil would want) — or with a new spiritual thrust to explain to people anew how faith in God can work leverage in a situation that no mortal can.
Even people who had been cowards in the past are not beyond such literal encouragement. And they may be the only resources in a situation that the Lord has provided.
I believe the "test" was decades ago, and now we are failing. What we are seeing now is the fallout.
