Two Sides of the Coin
Now Think On This
Steve Martin
“Therefore consider the goodness and severity of God: on those who fell,
severity; but toward you, goodness, if you continue in His goodness. Otherwise
you also will be cut off.” (Romans 11:22, NASU)
For many Americans (well at least 50 % of them) the 2016 elections gave
hope that the grace of God would once again direct our steps, in giving this
nation another opportunity to look to Him for the road we must follow.
With the election of Donald Trump and other conservative leadership, the
future of this country will hopefully take the dramatic turn needed to be on
the right road, the opposite of that one which by natural decisions we had
taken the wrong way, through the establishment of immoral and ungodly laws.
Believers can once again see the glimmer of light coming.
One could sense the relief, if not outright rejoicing, that those who had
loudly proclaimed their ways of death would not be given the chance to further
erode His established ways, through governmental and judicial transformation.
Once again the Lord has stopped the enemy’s hidden, ongoing agenda, which would
further bring down America and continue to remove the protective walls that had
brought us to that place of being a light upon a hill.
There always seems to be two sides of the coin when considering a choice
to be made. The goodness of the Lord can give us further opportunity to get
back on the right path. But we must be aware that He is also a just God, and if
we do not, by His grace, stop the destructive ways that have become most
prevalent in our society, we will experience His severity.
A society cannot long disregard the laws of the living God and expect to
live without the due consequences. As outlined in Deuteronomy, proclaimed first to
the Israelites, the same holds true for any people called to follow after Him.
“I call heaven and earth to witness against you today, that I have set
before you life and death, the blessing and the curse. So choose life in order
that you may live, you and your descendants, by loving the Lord your God, by
obeying His voice, and by holding fast to Him; for this is your life and the
length of your days, that you may live in the land which the Lord swore to your
fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give them." (Deuteronomy
30:19-20, NASU)
While we gratefully acknowledge this newly given opportunity to see
restoration of just and righteous laws once again in our land, we must not
expect that we can sit back and just let our governmental leaders do it. As the
people of God, we must stand strong in prayer, petition, and ongoing
proclamation for His kingdom to come, His will to be done, on earth as it is in
heaven.
This is the mandate we have been given. By His love and grace flowing
through us, life will overcome death, and true freedom will be experienced
under the shadow of His outstretched wings.
If we fail to seek Him in these years ahead, and acknowledge Him in all
our His ways, we will lose sight of the chosen path set before us, resulting in
further destruction and evil coming upon the people of this land.
We must keep our eyes fixed on Him, our only hope and glory.
