According to Ravi the definition of God's Glory is His Presence and His Voice. No Glory. No Voice. Read Zachariah.
Ravi was using King Saul and King David and their reliance on spiritual leaders to guide them in their ruling. Then Ravi used King Solomon and his total lack of using any spiritual leaders. Solomon choose wisdom but without the use of God. He began to rely on this wisdom he had with no use to protect the high places nor himself.
Ravi went on to say that it isn't the political leaders that we should worry about but the spiritual leaders that guide the nation. Yes, I come from a country founded by very Godly men who designed this country to rely on God. No, we are not Israel nor can we claim the equal standing as Israel. Yes, God has turned away from Israel and has turned to the Christain. No, there are no borders but rather it is a kingdom that has citizens living as aliens in all the countries of the world. Yes, God's Presence is with the Christian. My biggest fear is that America will totally turn from God and all the blessings that belong to a nation whose God is the Lord will cease. I hold up the fact there are still many Christians that hold to the faith and will keep this nation afloat. I do have a better sense that is the spiritual leaders that must stay focused on God and I will pray hard for this. I will not just leave it to the spiritual leaders but be the one who dives more fully into God's Word and practice it.
Much to do!
