"Or who shut in the sea with doors.., when I fixed My limit for it, and set bars and doors, when I said, 'This far you may come, but no farther, and here your proud waves must stop!'" (Job 38)
I encourage you to listen to Job 38 again. It is God's "powerful" conclusion to all the speculation of the previous 35 chapters. The, "Where were you," still rings from the Realm of Glory.
Our text is a great hope for humanity, that is, if we would just receive the Words as the very, "Word of God." What Jesus, "The Word of God," says in our text to the sea, He is also, and has been from, "In the beginning..," saying to humanity, "This far you may come, but no farther, and here your proud...must stop!"
This Divinely Powerful utterance to Job keeps the Followers of Jesus, who see the growing spread of the sin virus, from the despair and hopelessness of this present world system. But the millions of people who claim to be Followers of Jesus in the United States of America, yet do not vote, need to realize that a tsunami of evil will be unleashed in America, the likes of which they have never witnessed, if the Democrats win the Presidency, the House and Senate. Yes, history has proven that our text rules Supreme. History also proves, however, the untold suffering, turmoil and chaos which reigns because, "good men do nothing."
I ask you to pray with me that we do not just sit by passively with, "God has everything under control," and sit at home shirking the responsibility and privilege which Americans have had from its founding, a privilege which no other nation can claim. The Church has the power to determine the American Government, whether righteousness or wickedness will prevail.
Father, in Jesus' Name, I am trusting in Your Mighty Arm to stem the tide of evil unleashed in the earth, but I pray I so align myself with Your Mighty Arm. Amen.
When Peter, an 18 year old Norwegian, "heard the call to evangelize China, on that day he not only emptied his wallet into the collection plate, but included a small note with the words, 'and my life.'"
