Hello, thank you for joining me today for Give Him 15. The title of today's post is A Sense of

Urgency. Tomorrow, January 31st, 2024 is a very important day. One, I believe, will be used to heal and save our nation. I would love for you to participate.

Before I give the details, let me tell you why it is so important. The scriptures teach that

righteousness exalts a nation and a nation is blessed whose God is the Lord.

Secularists and humanists would have us believe America can be great without God,

that our greatness is due to our own abilities, determination, and natural resources.

This is foolish pride and deception.

Abraham Lincoln clearly understood this when he wrote his March 1863 proclamation of prayer.

Quoting, Lincoln, we have been the recipients of the choicest bounties of heaven.

We've been preserved these many years in peace and prosperity.

We've grown in numbers, wealth, and power, as no other nation has ever grown.

But we have forgotten God.

We've forgotten the gracious hand that preserved us in peace and multiplied and enriched and strengthened us.

And we have vainly imagined in the deceitfulness of our hearts that all these blessings were produced by some superior wisdom and virtue of our own.

Intoxicated with unbroken success, we have become too self-sufficient to feel the necessity of redeeming and preserving grace, too proud to pray,

to the God that made us. These sobering words are as relevant today as they were 150 years ago,

perhaps more so.

America has again lost her way.

Centuries ago, the prophet Jeremiah lamented

the fallen condition of Israel.

Like America today, they had turned away from the Lord and been overtaken by immorality, compromise, and idolatry.

God raised up the prophet Jeremiah to confront them.
