Man is bowed down,
and men are brought low,
and the eyes of the haughty are humbled.
But the LORD of hosts is exalted in justice,
and the Holy God shows himself holy in righteousness.
Isaiah 5: 15, 16
O Lord, help us walk in the ways you have taught us.
Help those who are confused about righteousness see the deceits they were given as good, and open up to the light.
Help our country be true to your spirit and open to your will.
In the Name of Jesus, Amen.
These Scriptures were an Encouragement to me this Morning:
"When the servant of the man of God got up early the next morning and went outside, there were troops, horses, and chariots everywhere. “Oh, sir, what will we do now?” the young man cried to Elisha. “Don’t be afraid!” Elisha told him. “For there are more on our side than on theirs!” Then Elisha prayed, “O Lord, open his eyes and let him see!” The Lord opened the young man’s eyes, and when he looked up, he saw that the hillside around Elisha was filled with horses and chariots of fire!" (2Kings6:15-17)
