Our Rulers Just Don't Understand

1 Corinthians 2:8 "None of the rulers of this age understood it, for if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory."

Lord, as You know, if the rulers of our age understood it, they would not be trying to eradicate Christianity from our world.  Our Founding Fathers, Pilgrims, and many others who settled in America understood.  The Patriarchs of Israel and some of their kings understood it.  There have been flashes of Your light throughout history, and then in one or two generations, we find a generation who doesn't know God.
      Lord, I understand that the crucifixion had to happen at the precise time in history because it was the Father's plan from the beginning.  I also understand that Your enemy, the "Prince and Power of the Air Satan", rules here.  However, when You return, You will rule and Satan will be banished!  Hallelujah AMEN!  Even so, Lord Jesus, quickly come!
      Until then, may I walk worthy of Your calling in my life and be faithful to You and Your Word.  For You have called me out of darkness into everlasting light.  May my light so shine among men so folks will see You in me and be blessed through me.
