Will the Strong Emerge?

“If you do nothing in a difficult time, your strength is limited.”

~Proverbs 24:10

Our country is experiencing a difficult time. The principles upon which this nation was founded are being tested. This trail is not from the hands of an external foe, but from within. This is not a sudden and recent attack. The facilitators of this attack have been chipping away at the pillars of our republic for a generation… and good men have virtually stood by and done nothing.

Tom Brokaw called the generation that fought in World War II “the greatest generation.” I believe there has always been greatness in our nation. But times of great stress and stirring have historically brought the cream to the top. The question that faces us now is: will the leaders emerge? Where are the men and women or great moral character, of national patriotism and spiritual courage? Are they here among us, and will they arise?

I remain optimistic. It is time for those who have remained silent to begin to speak out. I believe the strong are still among us. Are they strong enough? Will the leaders arise? I expect to see it everyday.
