If My People. . .

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and do not lean on your own understanding.  In all your ways acknowledge Him and He will make your paths straight.  Do not be wise in your own eyes; Fear the Lord and turn away from evil.” – Proverbs 3:5-7

We are less than one week away from the election.  We hear about voter fraud.  The spots are becoming more and more ugly.  The overriding issue is the economy.  They appeal to our greed and try to stack that on top of our fear.  It seems that we have now gone into the business of selling out our principles.

We are a society that is focused on immediate gratification.  That is why the news cycles can literally be only hours long.  We have lost a sense of the eternal.  In light of scripture, it is obvious that the American people have their priorities out of line.

Before we can call others to account, we must examine the priorities of our personal lives.  We must acknowledge Him in all our ways.  Our purpose is to give glory to Him.  Ask the Lord today to help you to see these issues with His eyes rather than your own.  Ask Him to give to you a sense of boldness in declaring the fact that there are some things more important than our own personal wishes.
