10/22/20 PRAY FOR OUR COUNTRY! — Daniel 6:4-5 (CSB) The administrators and satraps, therefore, kept trying to find a charge against Daniel regarding the kingdom. But they could find no charge or corruption, for he was trustworthy, and no negligence or corruption was found in him. 5 Then these men said, “WE WILL NEVER FIND ANY CHARGE AGAINST THIS DANIEL UNLESS WE FIND SOMETHING AGAINST HIM CONCERNING THE LAW OF HIS GOD.”

Our Declaration of Independence STILL says our citizens are “ENDOWED BY THEIR CREATOR.” Our coins STILL say “IN GOD WE TRUST.” Our Pledge of Allegiance STILL says “ONE NATION UNDER GOD.” (I’m well aware that each of these is currently under attack!) BUT now, just like those enemies of Daniel, most of those who oppose the appointment of Judge Amy Barrett could find only one area of her life to attack—HER COMMITTED CHRISTIAN FAITH IN ALMIGHTY GOD!?

In previous chapters Daniel had delivered God’s condemnation against several foreign kings. Because they had grown arrogant and forgotten the Most High God, He deposed them and allowed their country to be overrun, their citizens ruined, killed and/or enslaved. Many of our (political) leaders seem to have fallen into the same godless trap. On issue after issue, if God is for it, they’re against it; and if God is against it, they’re for it. And so they (and we) might very well expect to experience the WRATH of our Infinitely Holy and Righteous God. BELIEVERS, LET’S PRAY LONG AND HARD FOR OUR CULTURE AND OUR COUNTRY!
