Now What?
Jim Perdue
Psalms 33:12
Today, some of you are surprised, some are not. Some people are happy, some are scared. Some people are worried, others are optimistic. Some are going to be a little bit poorer and others are going to be a little bit richer.*
This is truly a historic time for our nation. We have just elected our 44th president of the United States who will be inaugurated in January. The truth is very simple however, we are a nation divided over some very contentious issues. And the question that I want to ask is simple, now what?
Psalms 33:12 says, ''Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, The people whom He has chosen for His own inheritance.'' You see, ultimately the problems within our country are not economic, financial, national or international; they are spiritual.
The truth is simple, we need a new move of God so much more than we need a new president. The Bible tells us in Proverbs 14:34, ''Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a disgrace to any people.'' Not only are we a nation full of sin, but we are a nation that has become proud of sin.
Look at history as recorded in Scripture as well as the nations that have risen and fallen before us. Anytime you remove God from the picture, you spell doom and defeat for your country.
So, now what? What is our task as believers today in America? What has God called us to do? I believe we have been called for such a time as this. And I believe our country is at a crossroads. We will either repent and turn to God or we will become like many European nations and be cold/dead spiritually.
Pray for our country and its leaders: 1 Timothy 2:1-2
1 Timothy 2:1-2 says, ''First of all, then, I urge that entreaties and prayers, petitions and thanksgivings, be made on behalf of all men, for kings and all who are in authority, so that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and dignity.''
As Christians, we have a responsibility to obey our governing auth ...
