If My People. . .

In the book of Nehemiah, he evaluates the status of the city and gives a report to the people.  “Then I said to them, “You see the bad situation we are in, that Jerusalem is desolate and its gates burned by fire.  Come, let us rebuild the wall of Jerusalem so that we will no longer be a reproach.”  I told them how the hand of my God had been favorable to me and also about the king’s words which he had spoken to me.  Then they said, “let us arise and build.”  So they put their hands to the good work.”

We are in the middle of a war and we have an economic crisis.  Our country is moving towards becoming a moral wasteland.  It is time for our people to put aside their selfish desires and put our hands to the good work of praying for our country to return to God.  Christians must be the model.  We can no longer wait for someone else to take the lead.

It is in the hands of those that will fully trust Him.  Pray that our people will do what is right despite the hundreds of millions that have been spent to shape our opinion.  Pray that we will look past opinion polls and the opinions of media pundits.  Pray that in our lives today that we will do what is right rather than what we want or desire.  Ask the Lord to help us do the same as a country.
