Because of Us

"For the elect's sake those days be shortened" (Matthew 24:22).

For the sake of His elect the LORD withholds many judgments and shortens
others. In great tribulations the fire would devour all were it not that out of
regard to His elect the LORD damps the flame. Thus, while He saves His elect
for the sake of Jesus, He also preserves the race for the sake of His chosen.

What an honor is thus put upon saints! How diligently they ought to use their
influence with their LORD! He will hear their prayers for sinners and bless
their efforts for their salvation. He blesses believers that they may be a
blessing to those who are in unbelief. Many a sinner lives because of the
prayers of a mother, or wife, or daughter to whom the LORD has respect.

Have we used aright the singular power with which the LORD entrusts us? Do we
pray for our country, for other lands, and for the age? Do we, in times of war,
famine, pestilence, stand out as intercessors, pleading that the days may be
shortened? Do we lament before God the outbursts of infidelity, error, and
licentiousness? Do we beseech our LORD Jesus to shorten the reign of sin by
hastening His own glorious appearing? Let us get to our knees and never rest
till Christ appeareth.
