Yesterday I listened to the generals try to talk their way out of their actions in the retreat from Afghanistan. I was reminded of the very first encounter man had with God in the Garden of Eden. Excuses, excuses, excuses. Blame it on someone else to make one’s decisions look good. That’s not going to wash when God’s judgment comes, and in my mind, it doesn’t work with our leaders who are anything but authentic in their personal actions. Here’s what Jesus, King of the Universe says in Matthew 16. “What good will it be for a man if he gains the whole world yet forfeits his soul? Or what can a man give in exchange for his soul? For the son of Man is going to come in his Father’s glory with his angels, and then he will reward each person according to what he has done.” We as individuals, our leaders who flaunt their authority without regard to truth, and our nation refusing to repent will Tomorrow face judgment. We don’t know the hour or the time, but the truth will be crystal clear in the twinkling of an eye.
