There are so many times when when many of us
feel like giving up. We awaken to the realization that our people
are in trouble and we want to shout it to the world. But what is
crystal clear to us is often a foreign concept to those we talk with.
You wish to convey your feelings and beliefs to your husband or wife, to
your son or daughter, parent, grandparent, neighbor, or co-worker.
However, they remain in their comfort zone and despite a vague feeling
that all is not right in America or other white nations around the world,
they just don't get it. You may think to yourself, "It's no use",
or "I've tried, done my best, and nothing has changed!"
"Son of man, can these bones
live?" And
I answered,
"O Lord God, Thou knowest" (Ezekiel 37:3).
This is the way God's people felt in the Babylonian
exile. The people had sinned and could see no hope. Fortunately for them,
God sent them a leader who could warn them of the judgments to befall them.
He also brought them hope.
Ezekiel had a vision of the dry bones in the
Valley of Jezreel, symbolic of the dried-up vision and hope of the people.
Ezekiel told the nation that they had brought their problems on themselves
by turning from the glory and word of God. But, the dry bones would come
together and live again.
While we often become discouraged, we must
remember that the battle is not ours, but belongs to God. We are
only his tools and missionaries. It is our duty to plant the seed
and God will reap the harvest.
America appears to be on a collision course
with total destruction and our efforts often seen futile. Yet, let us not
forget that God will use these trials to test us and our endurance.
He wants men and women who won't lose faith in him. He wants men
and women who won't give up on their children and their future. He
wants men and women who are willing to stick it out despite the slander,
ridicule, name calling, and senselessness perpetrated by those who hate
Jesus Christ and the gospel. The one thing we must never ever do
is give up and quit on our race, faith, and nation.
