God Changes. Man Can Only Rearrange.

No matter where I am or where I go, the conversation seems the same. Be they politicians, corporate executives, media analysts, sports enthusiasts or average Americans, each and everyone proclaims their knowledge, wisdom and expertise would change our broken, dysfunctional world. Only ones not preaching this message are the vast majority of preachers. This ordained segment of our population, sadly, might be America’s last chance for hope, yet their guidance seems silent.

Not as an attempt to usurp anyone, but as one who fully knows and accepts I, myself, have no power to change the world, may I boldly declare I do know from whence comes the power for change to happen.

Truth be told, man can only rearrange. God alone can change. Man can rearrange till the Kingdom comes, and though, the overrunning of evil might change its course, the downward direction of society will continue onward. Only when mankind returns to God and dons Godly character will the world return to peace as its core value. Solely returning to God can change the souls of mankind from hate to love, war to peace, death to life and enemy to brothers and sisters in Christ.

God can change the world, but for this to happen, man must elect God as the leader they choose to follow. There is no other way for change to happen than for humans to rearrange their lives to honor God and plea for God to save His flock.

How might our Country go from failing in personal self proclaimed power to returning under the almighty power of God? There is only one answer, and it is found in the Bible. There’s not a joint chief of staff assembly, cabinet meeting or voting booth that holds the direction needed. God’s word, and His word alone, can chart this course.

Call me a dreamer, but I long for preachers to lead us back to God to find our way going forward. In today’s society this might not be the popular thing, but it might be the only lifeboat that will save our land, our families and our souls.
