Now that we are entering back into another election year I expect we will see more and more political remarks and opinions. I intend to try and stay out of that arena. First of all, my comments in the last race didn't go very far. Obviously not enough people were listening to what I had to say...or the outcome would have been very different. I've decided to just sit back and watch the fireworks, and keep my thoughts to myself. Those of you who know me already know pretty much where I stand on the important issues. I haven't seen anyone yet worth getting excited about. I started to get excited about one of the newer candidates, and then he opened his mouth and showed that he really wasn't quite ready for this fight...so I'm glad I didn't invest all my campaign dollars on his campaign! (As if I had any to invest). The jury is still out on that one...
No, I'm gonna sit this one out. At least I intend to try and keep my mouth shut. However, that doesn't mean that I don't care what happens to our country. It just means that I've decided to fight this battle on my knees.
II Chronicles 7:14 says:
"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."
So, if you think I've wimped out and refuse to stand up and fight, have no fear...I'm choosing to kneel down and fight this time around. Maybe that will achieve the greater results. At least I'm praying that it does.
Won't you join me? If we are all in agreement that we want what is best for our country, and we are trusting in God to hear us and do exactly that, how can we lose?
Great great truly great post Pam! I agree completely. All the voices do not make a lot of difference as it is the loudest and wealthy voices that get heard, so prayer is the way to go!
ReplyDeleteOne pet peeve I do have is that we need to remember to pray for WHOEVER wins the election, even if we do not like him/her and did not choose them. I will never join the chorus of christians who complain about their president!
Well said, RCL! Thank you for your thoughts...I agree wholeheartedly!
