Why Not Us? Why Not Now?


Why Not Us? Why Not Now?
Faith, mighty faith, the promise sees, And looks to God alone; Laughs at impossibilities, And cries it shall be done.
--Charles Wesley
This morning I was on the treadmill at my gym when a young muscled up guy walked by me with an old worn and tattered tee-shirt on. Nothing unusual about that, the lettering on the back was faded and hard to read. Then I saw what it said. WHY NOT US? WHY NOT NOW? I almost jumped off my treadmill. David asked his brothers, is there not a cause? Is there not a reason that we are here right now in this place in time. The scripture speaks of a time such as this. I ask you the question that has echoed in my ears all day. WHY NOT US? WHY NOT NOW?
