The Days Ahead

I was thinking recently about the analogy of putting a frog in a pot of lukewarm water. If you slowly heat the water up, the frog won’t notice and will stay there and die. However, if you put him in a pot of boiling water, he will jump out immediately.

We are living in a society where the morals have been declining for many years. Our rights, particularly as Christians, are being taken away, one by one. We may get outraged for a little while at something new that happens, but we soon learn to live with it.

Could it be that Obama will be the pot of boiling water that will get our attention? I’m not out to second-guess what God is doing, but I know that He has a plan in all this. Maybe the prospect of losing so many of our freedoms that we still do have will wake us up and force us to take a stand for what we believe and fight for our rights.

I don’t think it will be an easy ride over the next four years for this country, but we need to be prepared to fight for what we believe and to trust God to take care of us through it all.
