FIRST OF ALL – PRAYERS!
1 Tim 2:1-4
I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications,
prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men;
2 For kings, and for all that are in
authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness
and honesty.
3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight
of God our Saviour;
4 Who will have all men to be saved, and to
come unto the knowledge of the truth.
With the election just
days away, we are
beginning to sense the urgency of getting this one “right.” The United States
can’t afford to select the wrong leader at this point in our history. Our
freedoms and especially our freedom of worship and self-preservation are under
attack.
It is too bad that the bottom line in any of these
elections is our pocketbook! If God is pure and holy, should we not be
concerned that we align ourselves with His sense of morality? If we continue to
resist Him, should we be surprised when He resists us? If we cling to
lifestyles that He has labeled an “abomination”, should we not expect His
anger? With most of the Middle East on fire, with Israel and Iran near nuclear
war, and with Ukraine and Russia engaged in a prolonged war, and with our
borders as porous as cheese cloth, should we not be a little bit concerned
about God’s protection and mercy? I think so.
Now is the time for Christians everywhere to pray. Pray that
this nation would still have enough moral fiber to elect a man of purpose..
Pray that our foreign policy is returned to some form of sanity or at least
reality. The purpose for godly government is so that “we may lead a quiet and
peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.” Pray that our nation returns to
God!
Prov 14:34
34 Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is
a reproach to any people.
Dear Lord, rescue us from ourselves. We have
offended you. Please forgive us and restore unto us a bit of moral purity. Be
swift to help us. AMEN
