If My People. . .

“But have nothing to do with worldly fables fit only for old women.  On the other hand, discipline yourself for the purpose of godliness; for bodily discipline is only of little profit, but godliness is profitable for all things, since it holds promise for the present life and also for the life to come.  It is a trustworthy statement deserving full acceptance.  For it is for this we labor and strive, because we have fixed our hope on the living God, who is the Savior of all men, especially of believers.”  – I Timothy 4:7-10

We spend most of our time reacting to what we hear rather than being proactive on the basis of the truth.  That is the reason that we are on a rollercoaster in so many areas of life.  We are reacting to the latest rumor or report.  Much of this information is like the worldly fables that Paul talks about in this passage.
No matter what circumstance we face, we must fix our attention and hope on the living God.  As you pray today for the future of our nation, pray with a confidence that is rooted in an all-powerful God rather than praying out of an attitude of alarm.  Today, come boldly before the throne of God and plead for our nation.
