Being Men for Our Nation

Men’s Monday Minute

“Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, hath turned my wrath away from the children of Israel, while he was zealous for my sake among them, that I consumed not the children of Israel in my jealousy.” (Numbers 25:11)

We see in this verse that one man’s zeal for God, and his working on behalf of God spared a nation from the jealous wrath of God. We are encouraged in this then that there can be hope for our country and that, even though we may be few, or sometimes the only one, who is standing for God. We can make a difference.

Yet standing for God requires a good old-fashioned dose of grit and guts. Where there is no backbone, there will be no stand for God. Yet, we need to set our face toward God and order our houses in a way that is right before the Lord.

You cannot control what others do, but you can control what you do. Determine in your heart to stand for the Lord in your own life, and in your household that God may be pleased with you. In this, I believe that we can make a difference in our nation.
