Pioneers are men who venture into unknown or unclaimed territory in order to break ground and settle. They are trailblazers and innovators who lead the way for others to follow. They have a pioneering spirit. They are not afraid to take risks or dangers in their pursuit of new discovery. Obstacles may delay them, but never deter them. They are prepared to put their lives on the line. They may go broke for lack of funds but they will never give up finding what they are looking for.
We now find ourselves living in a world that wants to take this pioneering spirit away from us. Our government squelches this spirit by becoming the Big Provider of so many different benefits and thus creates a lazy and dependent society. The spirit of pioneering, which has been so much a part of the American way of life, is under serious attack. The Big Government mindset is out to destroy the individual pioneering spirit that this country has long enjoyed.
When a country loses its trust in God, it opens itself up for deception. We are deceived when we become human or government dependant. We lose our creative pioneering spirit. God is a very creative being and He creates man after His own image and likeness. Part of this image is pioneering.
Men, we must turn back to God with all our hearts and encourage others to do likewise. We must never allow this country to completely lose its trust in God. We must, by the grace of God, stand in the gap and pray, contend for the truth, and pioneer again the ground the enemy has taken from us.
To be continued.
Be encouraged.
