Possible because of so much frustration in our nation and the world today, I have heard a number of people suggest we should pray for our nation and ask God to again to bless our nation. I sincerely agree. As Billy Graham once said: "I want to lobby for God."
Bill listens to Glen Beck on Fox News each evening and I'm not sure whether Beck is a political lobbyist or whether he is lobbying for God when he said we need Faith, Hope and Charity.
The political environment is so disturbing that we recognize the need for a new criteria in selecting Presidents, Vice Presidents and Members of Congress. We must be wiser in our choices and more selective.
The conditions in the world today are less stable than at any time I can remember. What are we doing about them? Are we really seeing beyond the horizon, giving help where it is needed. Are we listening for the voice of God to call us to service. We need a deeper faith and firmer stand for the principles of right.
It has been said that religion tends to spread the language of the heart. Someone wrote: "Religion is life, philosophy is thought; religion looks up, friendship looks in. We need both thought and life, and the two shall be in harmony."
In ancient proverb states: "If there is righteousness in the heart, there will be beauty in the character. If there be beauty in the character, there will be harmony in the family home; if there is harmony in the home, there will be order in the nation. When there is order in the nation, there will be peace in the world.
God will bless what He initiates, what depends on Him for its success, what is done according to His Word, and what is done for His Glory.
"For freedom Christ has set us free, stand fast therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of
slavery." Gal. 5:1
Let us return to God and have Faith, Hope and Charity.
