The Need of Every Nation January 16, 2023

1906-29 The Need of Our Nation SLIDE-320x320

Truth transcends all language, time, and cultural bounds. There are no social, moral, economic, or political solutions to a spiritual problem. Therefore, the only hope of a nation is in what God can do, and the need of every nation is praying Christians.

This may be one of the most politically tumultuous times in modern history. There are many things totally out of our control that are threatening to undo our way of life, especially in America. So what is it that our nation needs most? Praying Christians.

This is not the same as Christian people who sometimes pray; every nation needs believers who can get ahold of Heaven for their own lives, families, churches, and nation. Unfortunately, there are very few such believers.

James 5:16 reminds us that “…the effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.” This year, will you determine to be the praying Christian that your country needs? Will you seek to please the Lord in all things this year?

The Need of Every Nation Bible App Plan

To encourage you in this area, we have created The Need of Every Nation Bible App plan. It is a five-day plan with key scriptures, devotional content, and personal application. One nice feature of these plans is that you can study through them with your friends/family/church. Encourage others to join you along the way! You can view the instructions here.

We look at current events and get the sense that our nation is coming apart at the seams. The foundations are shaking. What are we to do? The need of our nation is the need of every one of our lives—we must “have faith in God”(Mark 11:22). Begin seeking Him by faith today!

M’Cheyne’s Bible Reading Plan Each year I adopt some plan for my daily devotional reading of Scripture. To be honest, I try to vary this a little each year to keep it fresh. Over the last year, I have been using a plan that Robert Murray M’Cheyne developed for the people that he pastored. It is helpful for several reasons: It leads you through the Old Testament once and the New Testament and Psalms twice during the year. It gives a variety of Scripture passages to read each day - historical, prophetical, and devotional. It divides the readings into readings for the morning and for the evening. It promotes a reading for private devotions and one for family devotions. It encourages the church family to read through the Bible together. M’Cheyne’s heart was to strengthen families and the church family, while deepening the personal devotion of each Christian. I can tell you from personal experience, that it has been a delight to follow. (Read M'Cheyne's full introduction to his system HERE).  We have decided to make M’Cheyne’s plan available through Enjoying the Journey this year, with the prayer that God will use it to lead all of us to a life full of the Word in the days ahead.
