God is speaking to America today

HT: The Road to Reality by K.P. Yohannan (Pg.115)

This present generation of Americans, in particular, is receiving the most unearned and undeserved favor of all time. God has made this people the richest nation on earth, yet Americans carry on as if this wealth were a natural right - as if they have no obligation to a lost world, dying ion darkness without Christ.

God has been so patient with us. Why this awesome grace continues must be a question all heaven asks! Surely the United States today deserves His judgment and punishment. Yet the Lord has continued to show mercy to these wayward descendants of the Mayflower and Jamestown believers. The living God has been keeping the covenants those first settlers made with Him, mercifully keeping His promises to a prodigal people.

In my last meeting with Leonard Ravenhill, we discussed the mystery and wonder of God's long-suffering love for the American people - and the fact that it cannot go on much longer. I'll never forget his chilling words: "It's coming. If God does not judge this nation, He'll have to apologize a thousand times over to Sodom and Gomorrah."

May God teach us that all these blessings are only temporary and conditional. May He help us to see how late the hour is and how urgent it is we respond with obedience to His grace and mercy.

Jesus said the fields are white unto harvest now. Anyone who has worked on a farm knows what that means. When you've got a ripe crop in the field, everything else stops. You harvest it or it rots in the ground.

God has prospered us for a purpose. He is the king of Matthew 25:14-30 who entrusts wealth to his servants and goes on a long journey. When he returns, the king demands as accounting and a profit from what he has given to invest. What will we present to our Lord when He returns for an accounting? What kind of stewards are we being with the blessings He has shed on this nation?

WOW - what truth! Take time to thank God for all that He has blessed us with! May we use the things He has entrusted us to build His kingdom and His power to reach the lost at all cost!
