PLEASE READ.. I AM SURE YOU WILL BE INSPIRED!! WHEN I CALL FOR REVOLT... I AM TOLD THAT WHAT WE GET COULD BE WORSE... REALLY ?? I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT BECAUSE I BELIEVE THAT GOD HAS A PLAN FOR AMERICA... Here is a story you may not have heard. If you have AWESOME.. SHARE IT.. IF not... read it and then be in awe and share it !! If ever there was a story in which God’s Sovereignty shone brightly and showed that he had Plans for AMERICA....and was evidenced in every single event and turn of the road, it is this story: The story of Squanto, a young man that endured much, suffered much, forgave much, and accomplished great things of which the effects are still felt today. The story starts when Squanto is about the age of twelve, when all he has ever known is his beautiful coastal home of what is now modern-day Massachusetts. It is there, along the shore, that he catches sight of a huge ship full of men wearing strange clothes. Squanto is not altogether unfamiliar with the white man, however. Perhaps it is because of this that Squanto and some of his tribe is easily captured by these men. Squanto and his kinsmen are herded aboard their ship and bound like cattle where they are taken to Spain in order to be sold as slaves. But God had another plan for Squanto. Squanto is purchased not by just anyone, but by a group of monks. What follows for our young Indian friend is almost five years steeped in education and biblical teaching. Squanto is received with kindness, learns some of the Spanish language, and most importantly he comes to know the love of God. The monks help Squanto to see that there is a purpose behind his suffering and God will use him in great and mighty ways. Because Squanto longs for his homeland and fellow tribesmen, the monks search for a way to get him home to his people. Providentially, it is decided that he will travel to England in order to catch a ride back to North America on a trading ship. Once in England he will be received into the home of John Slanie where he will have to wait patiently for a ship to be found for him. In the meantime he stays on with the Slanies, learning the English language and working in their stables. It takes another five years, but finally Squanto is headed home. When he finally steps out onto the soil of his beloved homeland he is struck with heartbreak as he quickly learns from a neighboring tribe that his Patuxet family is completely gone. They have been wiped out by the plague, brought over by the white man. Squanto is deeply affected and eventually seeks out solitary days in the woods where, as we can only imagine, he contemplates his life and prays to the One that has watched over him and brought him safely home. In yet another ascendant point of the story Squanto, out in the woods, welcoming a visit from Samoset, a neighbor. Samoset brings with him an interesting story of a group of people that have settled in Squanto’s old village. Upon Samoset’s encouragement, Squanto agrees to go and see for himself. What he finds are not unyielding men, waiting to capture Indians for slaves, but a group of vulnerable families: men, women, and children. They are English and Squanto understands their speech. They tell him the why and how of their perilous voyage over the ocean and the deadly first winter in his native country. They call themselves Pilgrims and Squanto in turn shares his story with them. And so it is, Squanto comes to know the Pilgrims, and the sovereignty of God is put on spectacular display as Squanto sees them through a lens shadowed with grace and love, not bitterness and resentment. He could have easily walked away or caused them further hardship, yet he chose to walk a narrower path. He chose to help those travelers prepare for and survive their second winter, as well as negotiate a peace treaty between them and neighboring tribes. In so doing, he proved to be an invaluable instrument in the hand of a good and faithful God and in the FORMATION OF WHAT WOULD FINALLY AMERICA. THE AMERICA WE LOVE... COINCIDENCE ?? I THINK NOT.. THAT IS WHY I AM NOT AFRAID TO REVOLT... GOD HAD/HAS PLANS FOR OUR AMERICA... I TRUST THAT WE WILL FIND THE RIGHT MAN TO GUIDE US THROUGH REVOLUTION AND INTO GOOD TIMES AGAIN FOR OUR MOTHERLAND!! GOD BLESS AMERICA!! SHARE AND BE INSPIRED !! GODS DELAY.. IS NOT GODS DENIAL
