“They tell us, sir, that we are weak; unable to cope with so formidable an adversary. But when shall we be stronger? Will it be the next week, or the next year? Will it be when we are totally disarmed, and when a British guard shall be stationed in every house? shall we gather strength by irresolution and inaction? shall we acquire the means of effectual resistance by lying supinely on our backs and hugging the delusive phantom of hope, until our enemies shall have bound us hand and foot? sir, we are not weak if we make a proper use of those means which the God of nature hath placed in our power. The millions of people, armed in the holy cause of liberty, and in such a country as that which we possess, are invincible by any force which our enemy can send against us. Besides, sir, we shall not fight out battles alone. There is a just God who presides over the destinies of nations, and who will raise up friends to fight our battles for us. The battle, sir, is not to the strong alone; it is to the vigilant, the active, the brave…There is no retreat but in submission and slavery! Our chains are forged! Their clanking may be heard on the plains of Boston! The war is inevitable-and let it come! I repeat it, sir, let it come.”

Blizzard Dumps Snow on Copenhagen as Leaders Battle Warming…

I found this exceedingly humorous as I opened the Drudge Report this morning. Maybe God’s trying to get a point across…

Many of us know that Barack Hussein Obama’s campaign was marked as eloquent and steady from the beginning. He was a good speaker, and was a crowd winner by his smooth words and ideas of change.

These past days Americans flooded to choose their candidate that would lead them through this crisis; the war in Iraq, the stock market, hundreds of jobs being lost, unborn children being deprived of life for the sake of someone who does not want them, and now Barrack Hussein Obama will come to office, and will help determine this country’s future as he sees fit.

As Christians, this candidate will seem scary because of his politics and ideas about morality, and sometimes we will be tempted to break down and cry about what might happen- I know I have wanted to. But sometimes our fear of what might become, keeps us from hearing what God said he would do. God did not leave us in a lurch about the future- He wrote it out  in His word, and gives us the Holy Spirit and peace to see us through. I get nervous about my future in this country, but somehow I don’t get too excited because in the midst of my trifling fears, God is always  whispering that His plan is coming to pass, and what man uses for evil, God will use for good.

This is the time in this country that we will have to work, like the persecuted Christians in Acts, harder to see God’s kingdom come. Instead of assuming that our nation still depends on God, we will have to walk straight out of our comfort zone to witness, and be persecuted for Christ. We will have to go against evil to see people’s eyes light up at hearing the name of Jesus. I would rather see my Christian walk grow, than sit at home waiting for the outcome of what will happen.
