daily prayer

     Good morning!  How are we faithing? Some things happen that cause us to pause and observe with eyes opened up to things we never imagined or refused to believe were happening. I know, sounds naive doesn't it? Well sometimes we are and sometimes we fail to see things as they are and how we think they ought to be.  I am very guilty of "rose colored glasses" myself. The start of wisdom begins in the Word. If we do not take it in we will be filled instead with worldly wisdom and if that happens, look around at the despair based on selfishness and greed.  Me Me Me is the mantra. It is time politics and the pulpit return. Not a Dem or an Rep in front of a name or a candidate promotion but an adherence to sound Biblical principles. Right has to be right and wrong wrong.  Party affiliation matters not when it comes to that right or wrong. We as Christians need to be ready to sound it from the roof tops if policies are steering away from sound Biblical doctrine. How can we expect to function as a Godly nation interested in true freedom if we wont speak for and or against good and bad principles? Smashing the people serves no purpose. Jesus gave his all for all therefore we must adhere to the great commission and go out and show God's love through Jesus the Christ. That is our job, not pointing out other's sins. Speaking truth about an action or sin is fine but speak just that and not a judgmental condemnation of a particular person. Love requires we speak truth but love also requires we consider others also. If we are lambasting someone over an infraction do you think they will hear  Jesus' voice or will they become defensive and only hear the judgement?  There are times to speak out about a certain sin and there are times to draw people to Jesus because believe me, Jesus will convict them of sin that is present. We believers have a job to do because Jesus told us to and because time is very short. Read your scripture.  Find out what you ought to do as a child of God. Pray for the lost.  Look for ways in every situation that you may promote salvation because;



Rom 8:28
And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.

Isa 41:10
Do not fear; for I am with you; be not dismayed; for I am your God. I will make you strong; yes, I will help you; yes, I will uphold you with the right hand of My righteousness.
