“FEAR GOD AND GIVE HIM GLORY!”

 Revelation 14:6-7                            (ESV)

“6 Then I saw another angel flying directly overhead, with an eternal gospel to proclaim to those who dwell on earth, to EVERY NATION and TRIBE and LANGUAGE and PEOPLE.

7 And he said with a loud voice, “FEAR GOD AND GIVE HIM GLORY”, because the hour of HIS judgment has come, and worship HIM WHO made heaven and earth, the sea and the springs of water."”

In November 2016 Americans elected a President for a four year term.  The “hornets nest” of the establishment was infuriated and have been swarming ever since.  This President is not a saint.  As a matter of fact, he has many flaws.  But the Apostle Paul wrote in 1 Timothy 1:15 “The saying is trustworthy and deserving of full acceptance, that CHRIST JESUS came into the world to save sinners, OF WHOM I AM THE FOREMOST!”  Could it be that this is a SPIRITUAL BATTLE and GOD is the ONE WHO is being challenged????

Impeachment, sabotage, a virus originated from a foreign adversary, all kinds of arrows have been fired, but NOTHING has been successful in stopping what is going on.  In a recent rally, the President is QUOTED saying “someone said to me the other day, “Your the most famous person in the world, by far”!  I said “No, No, I’m not, No, I’m not”.  They said, “Yes you are”!  I said “NO”  They said “Who’s more famous?”  I said “JESUS CHRIST”!”  Apparently he understood that THE KINF OF KINGS is someone that we ALL will answer to one day?  

Like I said, this President has his flaws, but when a person gives GLORY to the CREATOR, HE usually responds favorably.  Opposing GOD is a precarious position to be in.  Following HIM doesn’t make a person (even the President) a better person.  However it does say something that the President professed Christ in 2016, and even though he is a baby in the FAITH, he is exhibiting some traits that are characteristic of a BELIEVER, the most noticeable is “FEAR GOD AMD GIVE HIM GLORY!”  

This devotional is being written before noon on Election Day 2020, so the results of the election are still unknown.  I will not share this until tomorrow morning, when election results MIGHT be known.  It makes no difference who wins this election, ONE DAY SOON we will ALL stand before our CREATOR and answer the question?  Did we “FEAR GOD AND GIVE HIM GLORY”, or were we too busy or trusted in our abilities???
