When I hear a news report such as this one today where the Biden administration reversed itself and is now authorizing the Ukraine to strike deeper with their missiles into Russia....I am tempted to analyze it as usual....but the course of events is changing so quickly that I now first step back and look at them as part of God's plan in the judgment that is just ahead for all of us.
I readily admit to being amazed at Trump's aggressive moves....the unconditional support that he has....and appears will have for some time. In itself that support could be typical president-elect stuff....but all of these people.....celebrities....professional football players even who feel comfortable enough to do their little....Trump dance.....they signal that a power of some kind is rising. A year ago these football players would not be doing this dance. Today with the victory....and an increasing bravado feeding off each other....it is unnerving even thinking about where it could go and what twists and turns it could take. It has happened many times before folks!
Evangelicalism is totally deflated. Everyone was so excited when Mike Johnson was voted in as Speaker of the House. Evangelicals thought that God was really working in our favor. As it turns out....this man is a super-lightweight in discernment. Franklin Graham is another....totally buffaloed by Trump. He tweeted that Tulsi Gabbard was another great pick. Trump used and abused him now for eight years. He learned nothing of the warnings on politics from his father. I have to wonder what he will say when he finds out how deceived he was? Will he admit it? Will any of these ministers admit it?
So I sit back and watch....knowing that everyone's lives in America ....are about to change. All one can really do is watch to see the order that God will do these things.
It was a familiar public service announcement back in the early to mid-60s.....on television and on radio.....an announcer would break into the broadcast or the news and ask...."It's 10 PM. Do you know where your children are?" Well....it's 10 PM on a Lord's Day evening....do you know what the Steelers did? If you do....that's why you do not know what God is doing....for He is not going to open the eyes of evangelicals....or warn or give any discernment at all...to those who want to serve at the same time....God....and....Milcom. Zephaniah 1:5
Note: I've used the example of the Steelers before in these posts....but it could be anything that has taken precedence in our minds over the glory of God. Moderation in everything....except exaltation and joy in our great God and Savior and Lord and Coming King! No....when God sees that our interests are elsewhere other than in His Son....then it would be the height of presumption to think that He would give us discernment on anything. These pastimes will fade away....and these are evil times that demand discernment.
