If My people...



We sing the words, "God bless America", but God cannot bless a country that has turned its back on Him.
The change doesn't start with those "especially wicked sinners" that we tend to point our fingers at.
It starts with us, those of us who wear the label "Christian", those who claim to follow Him.
He showed us clearly what we must do-
now it's up to us.




still following,

    The wisdom in your *quiet* words is perfect.

    May God start a revival, and may it begin in our own hearts...


    GOD BLESS!

    Elizabeth,
    This is so true. If we had unity in Christ how much God would be pleased. If we would stop yelling, bickering, saying slanderous words, He would smile. If we would seek Him in all we do rather than go with emotions and "rules". Praying for those in authority is different than put downs. Jesus didn't tell Rome how to lead but people how to follow Him.
    Blessings,
    Janis

      It's definitely challenging to keep the heart free of offense towards our government and judicial system when they are leading our nation astray, but as believers our job is to pray for them. As Americans, our job is to vote and work for change.

    So true! And I love how you combined "God Bless America" with the Scripture.
