Lord's Day Post

                I have been praying in these Lord's Day Posts for over a decade that God....if it should be in His perfect will....and to His glory alone....might move mightily in the hearts and minds of His shepherds in their pulpits....having mercy upon them....and thus having mercy upon us in the pews....but maybe I have been praying too boldly....for does not His Word tell us not to despise the day of small beginnings?
                So for tomorrow my prayer is that God....if it should be in His perfect will....and to His glory alone....might give a morsel of humility to His shepherds in their pulpits....that they might consider if even for a moment....that they may have failed to stay true to God's Word in warning us of what is ahead....so obviously ahead....and in bringing us to our knees in mortification of what we have become....of what I have become....that only then might we go to Him and pray for mercies....not upon our nation....not mercies to become what we never were....and not to desire to become great in the eyes of the world or in our own eyes....but mercies upon ourselves....a church within that nation....who knows that we can do absolutely nothing good....and nothing honorable....unless we first acknowledge ourselves to be prone to transgressions against God....and to pray....not for favor but discernment....that we might know which way we should turn....and what we should do....and how we should pray....in the days that are ahead of us!
