This is our Finest Hour

I have this phrase running through my heart, it's on repeat, "This is the church's finest hour." I really believe that. No matter if we have a red or blue president, the church needs to rise up, and she will. It's time for Christ followers to take their place on the wall and pray and obey like never before. Christians need to take their place working with and within groups of people that they would not associate themselves with typically to bring light into darkness. Whether it's praying for sinners and sick people on the street and showing them the way to Jesus or climbing into places of influence in different spheres of culture, our finest hour is at hand. I feel that either candidate for president will face major issues and needs not be cursed but blessed and prayed for by a faith filled church. This is our finest hour. What are we going to do about it? These are supposed to be exciting times. I refuse to live in panic and fear of how dark of days that we live in. It's not that I'm better than that, it's just that I've spent too much of my life in anxiety and magnifying the darkness. I realize we need to be real about situations, but more importantly we need to move in faith, let the peace of God rule in our hearts, rejoice in all things, and lift up Jesus with our lives. People are so hungry to see Jesus re-presented through His bride. Shine your light Christian! This is your finest hour!
