On this day, 81 years ago on a bright sunny Sunday morning, the Japaneses Navy attack Pearl Harbor.  This attack brought the US into World War 2.  The greatest generation that this country has ever seen, defeated two “evil” empires and liberated the Jews from German enslavement.  The US was the greatest country on the earth at that time: technically, morally, and spiritually.

 

But as one studies history, when a country displays greatness, it soon falls.  That is where we are at now in the US.  This nation that once pronounced its allegiance to God, has turned from Him taking another path.  We have seen the destruction of the family, race, genders, of morals.  We do what is right in our own eyes.  There is no longer a true longing to help our fellow brothers and sisters.  Help is only given is something is taken.  Marriages are no longer scared.  Children are no longer seen as a gift from God.  Now, this could go on and on, but the point is made.  What happens next is what all great thinkers have warned for centuries, this nation will fall from the inside.  Fall it will.

 

For those who believe in and follow Jesus, we have to be ready for what will happen.  We have to be ready with God’s Word, His Love, and our very lives.  Some will die.  Following Jesus will come at a cost.  However, we are more than conquers in Christ Jesus.  It will be an opportunity for us to shine for our Lord.  Shine we must.  Shine we will.

 

We can no longer look at the materialistic United States, we must look at the souls of those men, women, and children that God created.  We must and will give them the peace, purpose, and life that they need.   The last words of Jesus started with the word, “GO.”  It is time to Go and shine.  Think about it.  Go do it.
