Daniel 9:5 “We have sinned, and have committed iniquity, and have done wickedly, and have rebelled, even by departing from thy precepts and from thy judgments.”
The nation Daniel described in this passage over 2,500 years ago sounds frighteningly similar to our nation today. His nation was filled with sin, iniquity, wickedness, and rebellion. His nation had departed from the Lord, ignoring God’s precepts. As a result, his nation teetered on the precipice of God’s justified judgment and wrath. Our nation is filled with sin, iniquity, wickedness, and rebellion. Our nation has departed from the Lord, ignoring God’s precepts. As a result, our nation teeters on the precipice of God’s justified judgment and wrath.
Daniel’s rightful response as a citizen of a nation that needed to return to the Lord before it was too late was simple and powerful. He turned to the Lord in fervent prayer. Our rightful response as citizens of a nation that needs to return to the Lord before it is too late should be simple but powerful. We need to turn to the Lord in fervent prayer. PLEASE PRAY THAT AMERICAN CHRISTIANS WOULD TRUST IN FERVENT PRAYER TO THE LORD TO ARREST OUR DANGEROUS DEPARTURE FROM GOD’S PRECEPTS. Do so before it is too late; Daniel did!
