Possibly because of so much frustration in our nation and the world today, I have heard many people suggest we should pray for our nation and ask God to again bless our nation. I sincerely agree. As Billy Graham once said: "I want to lobby for God."
The political environment is so disturbing that we recognize the need for a new criteria in selecting Presidents, and members of congress. And we recognize 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 horizons. Are we listening for the voice of God to call us to service. We certainly need a deeper faith and firmer stand for principles of right. As I heard one commentator say: "We need Faith, Hope and Charity."
It has been said that religion tends to speak the language of the heart. I read this recently: "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."
An 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. Let us turn to God.
"For freedom Christ has set us free; stand fast therefore, and do not summit again to a yoke of slavery.' Gal.5:1
