A precipice is something that is very steep – the edge of a cliff, for instance. If you think very much about it, it can make your feet feel the way they feel when you’re about to fall from a bridge – not that most of us would venture close to the edge of such a thing. Some people use the expression cold feet, but it is oh so much more.
Our nation is in such a position tonight. Actually, it has been there for more than one night. We’ve had a taste of the misfortune some other countries have experienced for years. It’s what happens when you order a president by mail. It’s unfortunate that the workers in the warehouse sent what was available or what they thought you should have rather than what you asked for.
What we need is a safety net – something to catch us so we don’t end up splat flat dead at the bottom of the cliff. God has a lot of specialties. Safety nets are one. Not that we deserve it. We don’t. But He gave us a way to call for one.
If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
Before we vote, I suggest we make that call.
