If My People. . .

“Professing to be wise, they became fools, and exchanged the glory of the incorruptible God for an image in the form of corruptible man and of birds and four-footed animals and crawling creatures.  Therefore God gave them over in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, so that their bodies would be dishonored among them.  For they exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever.”  – Romans 1:22-25

Here is a very clear picture of where we are as a country.  We have become so arrogant we believe that we can solve any problem.  In Romans we see a very clear definition of secular humanism.

It is easy for us to make a list of all the things that are wrong with our culture.  The bottom line is that we are exchanging the truth of God for a lie.  We have decided to put our trust in ourselves.  Our country is facing a very important election.  We have spent so much time thinking about what is “best” for us that we have neglected to think about what is right.  The answer is not to be found in a person, a party or an election.  It is found in trusting Him.

As we pray today let us claim the truth found in Psalm 118:8-9.  “It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in man.  It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in princes.
