My heart is crying for America. We are so selfish and want to follow no rules. Boundaries that were established and have been in place for hundreds of years are being tossed aside. Wrong is being called right. Right is being called wrong. Just because a majority decides something is right/wrong doesn't actually make it right/wrong. There is a book I like to live my life by. An ancient book written long before our states and governments were established. It is very clear about how governments are to be run. I understand that there are many who don't believe that the book applies to them or what is going on, and many who apply it the way that best serves them. I tell you in the end you will see that this book I am talking about is what holds all of the answers to life and death. There are days, I admit, that I waver and start to lose hope, but quickly realize that my hope is not in this world and pray hard for this land that I love. Until we see our need for His authority and humble ourselves, we will continue to spiral out of control. This book that I talk about holds all of the answers. God's breathed Word, the Bible, holds all of the answers! If you don't know Him, seek Him and you will find Him. Praying for America.
"But I do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning those who have fallen asleep, lest you sorrow as others who have no hope" (I Thessalonians 4:13).
"Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth," (Philippians 2:9-10).
"For unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given; And the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace" (Isaiah 9:6).
"Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God. Therefore whoever resists the authority resists the ordinance of God, and those who resist will bring judgment on themselves" (Romans 13:1-2).
"if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land" (2 Chronicles 7:14).
"All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work" (2 Timothy 3:16-17).
"Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart. I will be found by you, says the Lord, and I will bring you back from your captivity; I will gather you from all the nations and from all the places where I have driven you, says the Lord, and I will bring you to the place from which I cause you to be carried away captive" (Jeremiah 29:12-14).
"But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you" (Matthew 6:33).
Kings and kingdoms will all pass away, but there's something about the Name of Jesus! Wise men still seek Him.
