Hello Overcomers.....
When you get the chance, read Isaiah 40:18-31.........
In his book "Life Sentence", Charles Colson tells of strolling among the ruins where the Roman senate once met. Recalling his feelings, he wrote: "As I stood snapping photgraphs, my mind flashed back to the Roosevelt Room in the White House, a few steps across a narrow hallway from the President's oval office. At 8 o'clock each morning a dozen of us, the President's senior aides, had gathered around the antique mahogany table; it's polished surface reflected the serious, intense expressions of men who believed the destiny of mankind was in their hands."
Colson continues, " 'The decisions we must make today,' Henry Kissinger would often say, 'will affect the whole future course of human history.' We believed it. Just as the Roman senators dressed in their flowing togas believed it nearly 2000 years ago. Yet here sat their once majestic forum in dusty piles of stone and rubble. Would even this much be left of the Roosevelt Room, I wondered, in two centuries, let alone two millenia from now?"
The prophet Isaiah anticipated that question long before it was asked. Speaking to Israel when they were being threatened by powerful enemies, he looked beyond the movements of men and of nations to the great drama of God's eternal plan. "It is He who sitteth upon the circle of the earth," he wrote, "who bringeth the princes to nothing." We need to remember that. As leaders and lawmakers shape our society and determine our destiny, how reassuring to know that it is God who rules the world, and He will have the final word!
Just remember: The highway of history are strewn with the wreckage of nations that forgot God.
HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYBODY!!!!
