ONE MORE CHANCE IS A PRICELESS BLESSING
One more chance is a priceless blessing.
Today is Thanksgiving. We have a lot to thank God for. But there is one thing I thank God for above all else. I thank God we can still save our nation.
One more chance is a priceless blessing. I am begging you to embrace that blessing. Shake off the discouragement. Turn your eye away from all the sin, apathy, and heaviness of this hour. Turn it toward the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
“Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth. For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ who is our life appears, then you also will appear with Him in glory” (Colossians 3:2-4).
In an instant, David’s life went up in flames at Ziklag. While he and his men were gone, Amalekite raiders burned his village and kidnapped the women and children.
1 Samuel 30:6,8, “And David was greatly distressed; for the people spake of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and for his daughters: but David encouraged himself in the Lord his God. And David enquired at the Lord, saying, Shall I pursue after this troop? Shall I overtake them? And He answered him, Pursue: for thou shalt surely overtake them, and without fail recover all.”
Another chance! That should be our greatest joy today.
We also can recover all. God gave David another chance. And that meant everything to him. It should mean everything to us. We have a national ‘Ziklag’.
In our Ziklag, courts are corrupt. Our inner cities are killing fields. Human life has never been this cheap, while everything else is so expensive. Freedom of worship, decency, the rule of law, and civilization itself are on fire. But I know God has given us another chance.
Another chance! That should be our greatest joy today. God told David he would recover all. I believe God is saying that to you and to me, right now.
Do not dwell on the impossibility of that statement. Instead, listen to Nehemiah: …“Do not be afraid of them. Remember the Lord, great and awesome, and fight for your brethren, your sons, your daughters, your wives, and your houses” (Nehemiah 4:14b). That is the news!
But I have even better news: God only needs a core to get the job done! 1 Samuel 14:6, “Let’s go across to the outpost of those pagans,” Jonathan said to his armor bearer. “Perhaps the Lord will help us, for nothing can hinder the Lord. He can win a battle whether He has many warriors or only a few!”
So what if there are only a few of us?
So what if there are only a few of us?
So what if much of the church is apathetic? It does not matter. Romans 3:3, “For what if some did not believe? Shall their unbelief make the faith of God without effect?”
So what if perversion is exalted and evil rulers threaten us? The only thing that matters is this victory cry: “If God be for us, who can be against us?”
The only thing that matters is what God is doing.
Wars, rumors of wars, convulsions of nature, apostasy in the church—none of that matters. The only thing that matters is what God is doing.
If God has rolled up His sleeves to do something new, why should we care about anything else? God is recruiting elite fighters—He will infuse them with awesome skills and powers.
I thank God for so many things. But today, I thank Him that we still have a chance to save America!
