If we look back a mere 30 years to the world as it was then, many would agree that we are “better-off” today than we were then. Most of us have respectable homes, fully fitted with every mod-con accessory, a car to travel to and from our place of work, plentiful supplies of food, and more than enough “stuff” in general. But spiritually are we “better-off” today than we were a mere 30 or so years, when the morality of society was intact, church attendances were ample and regular, and the 10 commandments were largely regarded as the benchmark for society. Today, where the 10 commandments are merely guidelines, many of which can be disregarded as irrelevant, where church attendances are at an all time low, crime rates at an all-time high, and Sunday is the day where you do the stuff you didn’t get time to do the other 6 days of the week.
Are we really “better off”, I have to wonder. Heavenly Father, I do indeed pray that a fresh awakening to and desire for your word would develop in society again. That revival will once again visit these shores by your Holy Spirit, and that people would once again be concerned with the eternal rather than the temporary. In Jesus Name.
