Just as Moses led Israel on dry ground through the midst of the sea, (and this is recorded in Exodus 14), America – with spacious skies and ‘amber waves of grain’ won Independence and victory ’cause ‘God shed His grace on Thee.’
Moses, who was weak in heart at best, held on to the God’s rod and word, and cried out to Him in moments of great duress!
The story is written in the Good Book, to learn what leadership is, and how it should look.
It was Moses who sang and all the children of Israel as well, to the LORD God Almighty, their story to tell: “The LORD is my strength and my song,” in Exodus 15 it is written , that through the LORD’s mercies, and by His great power – victory and a banner was theirs- His name exalted that very hour!
The battle was raging the story is told in Exodus 17 for us to behold. Moses commanded Joshua to choose men to fight the enemy who steals, kills and destroys at will, whom he might.
Joshua did as Moses had said, as the story is told, for us all, to be read. Moses went up to the top of the hill with the rod of God in His hand – held up high, victory instilled!
Do we remember the story? How Moses’ hands grew heavy, so the help of supporters, of Aaron and Hur, held up his arms that his hands would remain high and steady.
The victory didn’t come from one man who shouted, “I will do this!” The victory came because all united, and God – was – the – main – focus!
Today we are lost, when we look to man, whose confidence is in self, instead of foundational security: “In God we trust!”
Wisdom Himself spoke to His children: “Every nation divided against itself is brought to desolation…”
Yes, Jesus spoke so we might hear and understand:”…every city or every house divided against itself, will- not- stand.” (1)
Who is a leader respected and honored? As children we picture George Washington on blended knee – seeking wisdom from Providence on behalf -of -the -whole -country!
America! America? Have we forgotten our history? The Pilgrim Fathers sought to find a new land where their children could worship God rightly and freely!
Time has past, and we have forgotten our beginning! How can this be? We’ve not read the song of Moses, we have forgotten that GOD-parted -the -Red -Sea.
America, please remember the men and woman who gave up everything, that their children might know the King of all Kings.
“In quietness and confidence shall be your strength.” Isaiah 30 verse 15. Remember America, what a true leader is, what truly will make America great…
A leader who is humble, who seeks wisdom and cares, to protect and instruct the children of the nation – by example, by careful words- by meekness, by prayer…
America, America we must sing a new song. We must remember the LORD is our strength in whom we belong!
Be warned America, we are at the brink of disaster! We must get on our knee, as George did back then, and cry out to God this very hour ! We need a leader who knows he can’t on his own- but kneels to Providential Power!
America, America, all hope for us is lost, lest we turn from our self seeking ways, and cry “forgive us” at all cost!
A leader once prayed, named Abraham Lincoln: “That this Nation Under God shall have a new birth of freedom…”
Unless America has a leader who understands, that ‘One Nation Under God’ is our only hope to stand. Sin has separated this nation from God. Jesus Christ laid down His life, for us all, He has paid the debt in full that we owe…
America, choose a leader with integrity and wisdom. America, choose a leader that will make a good role model for our children!
