LET US SEE THIS THING WHICH GOD HAS DONE

“LET US NOW GO – AND SEE THIS THING WHICH IS COME TO PASS, WHICH THE LORD HATH MADE KNOWN TO US.” LUKE 2:15



There is within our nation an entitlement mentality. With the birth of Franklin D. Roosevelt’s “New Deal” Program, which created welfare, a new dependence upon others to carry the responsibilities of individuals was born.

Lyndon Johnson’s “Great Society” perpetuated and increased the expectation to a resulting “Welfare State”, which has produced generations of adult who rely upon others to provide for their most basic needs.

The rugged individualism and corporate cooperation of local communities to work together to achieve goals and to provide local needs dissipated. After decades of being taught that they were inferior and unable to provide for their families, fathers quit believing that they were able to make a decent living and many Americans forgot how to accept the responsibility to provide for their own.

The belief of “WITH GOD, ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE” was replaced by the misguided dependence upon Government.

The Shepherds, the Wisemen and the common believers who walked before Christ had experienced reliance upon Government for their needs and come apart wanting. They had become dependant upon the laws of men to legislate fairness and come away cheated and disappointed. So when the Angel proclaimed the birth of a New King; God’s Son and a star was placed in the heavens to point the way, all men of seeking hearts sought him.

Their reliance was no longer upon what some man “WOULD DO”, they went to see “THIS THING WHICH IS COME TO PASS” (this thing which God has already done)!

Man may promise “HOPE AND CHANGE”, but ONLY God can deliver.

Only our loving Father can sincerely offer Eternal Hope and Lasting Change.
Man may promise, change by saying, “YES WE CAN”, but the Word of God has a greater promised backed by the infallibility of Almighty God Himself; He instructs us to say, ‘I (not the Government)CAN DO ALL THINGS THROUGH CHRIST JESUS WHICH STRENGTHENS ME!” So, “LET US NOW GO – AND SEE THIS THING WHICH IS COME TO PASS, WHICH THE LORD HATH MADE KNOWN TO US.” Amen
