I agreee that there is not much good in most elections of this day...but there are exceptions. I believe Sarah Palin is one such exception and that the values she espouses and the view she takes are more aligned with what most of us believe God's purpose for this land is, and has been.
In any case, our attitudes, the true feelings of our hearts and motivations can and will invoke God's Hand and His blessings as He has promised.
Those words of His from II Chron 7:14 are not my words...they are His and I believe them I also believe, as it plainly states there, that there is much we MUST do to be in a position to invoke such a blessing and action by God.
That's what this thread is all about.
“I believe that God’s hand is involed in all things my friend. How it effects us will depend on out own hearts and how they are ordered for the process whatever it may be.”
If God’s hand was involved in this election cycle, then John McCain is His wrath, and His indignation is Obama.
That said, God doesn’t smite us with politicians, we do that to ourselves.
God won’t get us out of this mess we’ve made out of our country, either. But nevertheless, prayer about our earthly politics probably won’t hurt, but it’s not likely to help much either.
What will help is throwing the centrists in the GOP out of the party leadership and replacing them with committed constitutional conservatives. God will hopefully have prepared a few worthy souls to lead the GOP in the future.
I wouldn’t be upset if He would smite a few moderate republicans, Old Testament-style on their way off the political stage, but He didn’t ask me for my list.
