Look at our world today. It’s spinning out of control. (Sidenote: out of our control but not God’s!) As I listen to others’ concerns and fears, they all seem to end with “things have to get better”. I disagree. Things don’t have to get better. They need to change.
Mankind has to stop thinking if things were their way, all would be better. Wrong!!! Our way doesn’t matter. Our likes don’t matter. Our wants don’t matter. Only God matters; and God’s way is never to just get better but to change. Christ’s miracles were a result of lives changing to faith, hope and trust in Him, not through sicknesses getting better. Sickness was completely gone, only when lives changed. Again, our world doesn’t need to get better. It needs to change. We need to change!!!
I live in Florida, so you better believe, loud and clear, I hear members of society screaming “I want ‘so and so’ to lead, and then things will get better.” Good people live in Florida, and I love living in Florida and being surrounded by so many strong Christians. However, it’s time for us, one and all, to stop shouting whom we want and begin to soul search to discover whom God needs to lead our Country — and most critically His children. When, and only when, this is our search will both our Country and God’s children (us) be founded and grounded in peace, prosperity and God’s Golden Rule for living on earth.
This blog is not meant to be a soapbox lecture but a Bible based reminder of how, when and where strength, leadership, peace, prosperity, love and family take seed and grow.
“If you fully obey the Lord your God and carefully follow all His commands I give you today, the Lord your God will set you high above all nations on earth. All these blessings will come on you and accompany you if you obey the Lord your God: you will be blessed in the city and blessed in the country. The fruit of your womb will be blessed, and the crops of your land and the young of your livestock — the calves of your herds and the lambs of your flocks. Your basket and your kneading trough will be blessed. You will be blessed when you come in and blessed when you go out. The Lord will grant that the enemies who rise up against you will be defeated before you. They will come at you from one direction but flee from you in seven. The Lord will send a blessing on your barns and on everything you put your hand to. The Lord your God will bless you in the land He is giving you. The Lord will establish you as His holy people, as He promised you on oath, if you keep the commands of the Lord your God and walk in obedience to him.” Deuteronomy 28: 1-10 (NIV)
I repeat, look at our world today. Nothing will get better until WE CHANGE — change back to God’s people, who live according to HIS will and HIS way.
