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.
