History is supposed to be a great teacher. It reminds us of things we should and shouldn't do. It reminds us of past events, anniversaries, it's good that way, but only if we choose to use history as it is intended.
These days we seem focused on rewriting history. We wouldn't want to offend anyone so we rewrite the history books.
I wonder how long it will be before 9/11 is removed from history class. Will we even HAVE history books or classes in our schools?
Do you remember the day after 9/11 and how people flocked to churches all across our country? People were looking for hope. Well, we're over that now.
Events like 9/11 should change us. Forever. But they don't. They might change a generation of people but the next generation will forget and regress. It's been that way throughout history. Why would we change now?
That's why we need God's help to accomplish that change. We can't change ourselves. We've proven that for thousands of years. We need God. We need Jesus.
If we place our faith in our own abilities and strength we will fail. We may have built a new skyscraper but we have failed as a people. God alone saves. God alone is who we should worship. Not ourselves.
Until we turn to God and die to self we will never be changed. Make the change.
"Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal." - 2 Corinthians 4:16-18
