In church the other night, I heard a clear word from my
Lord, Jesus. He stated, “Stop your
cynical attitude. It is wearing you
out.”
I believe it is killing me, eating away at my
spiritual strength like a malignant cancer.
It is destroying my trust in God.
It is tainting my relationship with my Savior. It is robbing me of His peace and drowning
His joy. Jesus is not a corrupt
politician who exchanges favors for votes.
Jesus is the King of Universe. He
is 100% trustworthy. If ever I faced a
moment when I needed to come to a place of deep and true repentance for
possessing an attitude grieving to His Holy Spirit, it is now.
Sin makes me stupid – of this I am certain. Providing a safe harbor for a cynical
attitude is like committing high treason against God’s Holy Spirit who dwells
in me. I choose to cast this evil attitude
out of my life and banish it from my thinking.
Cynicism puffed up my pride keeping me from praying fervently for the
leadership of my nation. Worse, I never
thought to pray for the leadership of Israel – Prime Minister Benjamin
Netanyahu. I held the cynical attitude
thinking he’s not an authority over my country, over my life. He’s Israel’s problem – not mine.
Then, God’s Holy Spirit revealed that this one man
is wrestling with decisions right now that will impact the entire world. If ever I need to pray that he will get on
his knees before Almighty God, seek His face, and beg Him to impart wise
direction, it is now. Dangers surround
his country and they grow stronger each day.
He cannot ignore these – He cannot allow the Islamic world to incinerate
his people. Will you, my readers, join
with me in prayer asking the King of Israel – Jesus of Nazareth – to reveal His
direction for Israel to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu?
