Happy Thanksgiving to you and your families!
How long has it been since we can honestly say we have had so much to be thankful for. And might I add, be hopeful for? It seems as though we are emerging from a dark time and the guys on the white horses are arriving in number. Something seems to have changed for the better, and indeed it has!
Know what I see most of all? I see a real God who heard the voices of his people, and answered our prayers. Many of us felt hopelessness and were preparing for an unknown future. But that seems to have abated somewhat and finally the feeling is that the Referees are actually going to call the fouls. We can take a collective breath and start to rest a bit in the fact that good and righteousness just won the round. He did not get knocked out and all of us set to run for cover.
God met us! He really did! He saw millions of us repent of our personal sin and he heard us ask for repentance for our nation. You know, there have been dark times in the past for this country. December 1941 comes to mind, so this was not the first time the good people of this great country felt like we were down by three points in the forth quarter with forty yards to go and only five seconds left on the clock. We were literally just there. Nothing but free falling over a cliff leading to a bottomless abyss was staring us all right in the face.
But God intervened! He really, truly heard our cry. He felt our desperation and he showed up in a big way. Ladies and Gentlemen, This is Thanksgiving day! There likely has never been a time, nor will one come again in your lifetime when you have so much to be thankful for!
Thank you Father God! Happy Thanksgiving to all...
