If My People…

“Seek the Lord while He may be found; Call upon Him while He is near
Let the wicked forsake his way
And the unrighteous man his thoughts;
And let him return to the Lord,
And He will have compassion on him and to our God,
For He will abundantly pardon.
For my thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways My ways, declares the Lord.
For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.”   – Isa. 55:6-9

America has the greatest amount of intellectual capital in the world.  We are known as a nation of entrepreneurs.  We have tremendous energy and creativity.  But we are now finding that our ideas do not seem to be enough to deal with the challenges that we face.  We are ready to listen to all of the experts.  We are trying to find the solutions but we as a nation need to be seeking the Lord.  God is not shocked by what is happening in our country.  We must not spend our time asking Him to bless our plans but we need to make His thoughts, our thoughts and His ways, our ways.  Our prayer needs to be that we will be dependent on Him rather than just asking Him to deliver us.
