Realists will say you can’t really know for certain. Pagans will say eat, drink and indulge yourself while there is still time. As I look around at the events of this past year, we need people like the days of Issachar in the Old Testament who understood the times.
If you follow talk tadio, listen to the nightly news or tune into cable news shows, opinions vary. Some have said we are just going through a rough patch, others reply were are on the verge of becoming the next Greece and the disillusioned proclaim, “things are improving!” In my mind, this 2012 election will determine the worldview our country will reflect for future generations.
The one thing people can do is follow the footsteps of Nehemiah. He wept upon hearing the desperation of his country, Israel, Nehemiah 1:3-4. This led Nehemiah to fast and pray for a solution. After 3 months, God revealed the answer in the form of a vision to rebuild the walls surrounding Jerusalem. Therefore, as this next election approaches, fast and pray for America so that you can understand the times we are living or follow the direction God is calling you!
