Seems like society would improve with age. If more is discovered, coupled with what we
learn from experience, how could things not get better?
But, leave it to the “natural mind,” which is from
rebellion…things do not get better.
Michael gives us a very interesting truth that we
must know and keep in mind at all times.
See if you can notice it as you read Day 271…
DAY 271
The Green
Lady
And {let} the rich man
{glory} in his humiliation, because like flowering grass he will pass away. --James 1:10
I was talking to a
friend about the United
States. He, like many others, is frustrated with the lack of common sense, lack of righteousness, and
prevalence of greed that exists at so many levels of government. I
reminded him that in our lives there have been many people we have loved. They
have now passed away, and yet we remember them with fondness. Because they are
deceased there is no need talking about them as though they are alive. The
America that he and his father before him remember is no more; it has ceased to
exist; it is over. She is just as dead as the green Statue of Liberty. What we see today is only a
shadow of what it once was. We can speak of what it was when alive with
great fondness. Reading the stories of Washington and Lincoln, the forming of
the Constitution, and the many selfless acts of countless people who helped
develop a country based in Christianity, one cannot help but be inspired.
However, there is no need to be bitter about the death, and we are living in
exciting times! Jesus’ return is near, and nowhere in the Bible does it say
that in the end times one country will stand with Jesus. All of that must end
as anti-Christ men fill their cups with their own judgment. Deterioration in society does
not create evil men and wicked hearts; it simply reveals them. Those who hate
believers are coming to the surface. We will know them, and we must
learn not to entrust ourselves to them. “If the world hates you, you know that it has hated Me
before it hated you” (John 15:18). Do not be discouraged; His coming is near, and a kingdom
far greater than the one formed with the Constitution will be ours forever!

Take note of the three things Michael listed about the frustration of
his friend, and of so many of us.
However, we must not let a focus on those three take us away from a
focus on Christ.
Hence, we can know that “interesting” truth: society
does not create evil men and wicked hearts; it simply reveals them. Those who
hate believers are coming to the surface. And yet, we are not to let them
discourage us…Jesus is coming soon! In
the meantime, He is within us providing victory and overcoming to anything we
face and deal with.
Amen!
