One of the greatest gifts God can give us is letting us get to the end of our rope! That’s often when and where and how we discover that there is a God. And just as important, I am not Him! Playing God is impossible! The good news? God is still on His throne! Don’t lose faith in the end of the story! Virtue signaling won’t get us where we need to go as a nation. Neither will hashtags. What we need is revival sparked by repentance. God opposes the proud, but He gives grace to the humble! The Spirit of God can’t fill you if you’re full of yourself, but if you’ll empty yourself of pride, God will fill the void with His love, His power, His grace.
