Crossroads '24

In America, every major election year or cycle promises the electorate to be the most important election in the history of the country; that there has never been a more crucial time to make one's voice heard. Every generation appears to believe that it is the greatest generation, and none before the one in existence had greater causes or issues to defeat, control, or conquer. Let's leave it to God and the historians to decide on Who or what is the greatest generation? There was once a king named David who gathered and appointed to his staff those who had 'understanding and knowledge of the times'. May our present would-be leaders do the same. Notwithstanding, perhaps the real question to those of us who happen to be in the present generation is, "What role are we to play?". Am I just here to be affected by and simply experience whatever is set before me? Or, do I, or am I to know if I have been placed in this arena, in this kingdom, on this planet, for such a time as this? I believe that, indeed, each of us has been uniquely placed and positioned by God to do His bidding. God's call and biddings would apply to any people of any nation. From where I sit, in America, there is no doubt that a puzzling stage has been set for each of us to step upon and exercise what God has said in our hearts. 011924PS
