PROBLEM: DRY EYES? SOLUTION: CRY

 THERE ARE LOTS OF SCRIPTURE VERSES ABOUT CRYING TO GOD and also about lamenting for the state of the nation.

The Temptations had a song wishing for rain - the singer was lamenting the loss of a girl and was crying. He wanted rain to mask the tears. Our current situation is far worse than losing a girlfriend. We are on the brink of disaster with treasonous leaders selling our country to our enemies.

Our country is in the hands of pagans who appear to be doing the diametric OPPOSITE of every standard of God's word - life, morality, economics, impartiality, scornfulness, tyranny, you name it. Some Christians appear resigned to not resisting any evil not mater how egregious. Others who are either ignorant or rebellious concerning God's Word are actually celebrating the rapid rolling in of intense darkness in our nation. I say to cry to the Lord and also cry tears of sadness. We had been going in the right direction, but the servants of Satan are now rolling back all that progress.

In Luke chapter 13:34-35, Jesus lamented over Jerusalem - “Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those sent to you, how often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, and you were not willing. Look, your house is left to you desolate. I tell you, you will not see me again until you say, ‘Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.'” CAN WE DO ANY LESS?

Let your tears run down like a river day and night;
Give yourself no relief,
Let your eyes have no rest.
