Many Christians have forgotten the truth that “the most high rules the kingdom of men” (Daniel 4:17). Saints who forget this find a way to go on believing that they themselves will be saved. But they forget that Christ came so that the world itself might be saved.
Amid such forgetfulness, these Christians leave off praying that God’s will would be done on earth as it is in heaven. And they also leave off thanksgiving to God when he executes his will on earth.
You must not be such a people. Better things are determined concerning you.
We live in a broken world. And at the same time, we live in a world that has experienced the birth of God’s Son. Not only that, but the world has undergone his death, burial, resurrection, ascension, and the pouring out of His powerful Spirit upon his bride. This means we shouldn’t be surprised when God answers yes to the prayers of the righteous.
So as you know, the abominable Supreme Court decision Roe v. Wade was overturned last week. And God is the one who overturned it. He thwarted the plans of the ungodly. He heard the prayers of his people. And he has answered from on high.
This is a cause for great celebration. It is also a cause for repentance for many thought the arm of the Lord was too short. And this is a time for covenant renewal, resolve, faith, and a good deal of work. It is not a day to despise small beginnings (Zechariah 4:10). It is a day to set up an Ebenezer, for thus far the Lord has helped us. Look at the work of the Lord and listen to him say, “Be still and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth” (Psalm 46:10).
