Ain't no whoop'n like the whoop'n of the Lord

Today as we look at the great challenge in our government and church as we pray for our nation, let us not ignore our daily challenges from the Lord. For an angry emotional action can ruin the effectiveness our prayers.

Yesterday I listened to a Christian lady tell a funny story about the difficulty of raising a young child, which brought on frustration and an angry response to the child. Then she remembered what her Aunt said, "Ain't no whoop'n like the whoop'n of the Lord.

Her Aunt was given a chance by the Lord to pray for someone in the hospital as she passed by her on a gurney on her way to surgery. She argued with the Lord and didn't do it. The patient died in surgery shortly there after. Her aunt was greatly grieved.

I too have been greatly grieved to the point of bitter tears after being very harsh with a 30 yr old wayward son. That day I felt terrible. I asked the Lord why He was making me sad, I immediately realized it was I that was making Him sad, and I felt immense deep grief in my soul.

So yes, we have huge overwhelming problems to pray about for our nation. But what good does that do if we ignore our own family and neighbors, for they are the building blocks of this nation.

Dear Lord Jesus, as we lift up the many prayer requests to you for our president and nation, may you find our own hearts at peace with you, our families and neighbors and their challenges also.

In Jesus Name we pray, Amen.

Always be humble and kind

Psalm 97

1 The Lord is king! Let the earth rejoice;
let the many coastlands be glad!
2 Clouds and thick darkness are all around him;
righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne.
3 Fire goes before him,
and consumes his adversaries on every side.
4 His lightnings light up the world;
the earth sees and trembles.
5 The mountains melt like wax before the Lord,
before the Lord of all the earth.

6 The heavens proclaim his righteousness;
and all the peoples behold his glory.
7 All worshippers of images are put to shame,
those who make their boast in worthless idols;
all gods bow down before him.
8 Zion hears and is glad,
and the towns* of Judah rejoice,
because of your judgements, O God.
9 For you, O Lord, are most high over all the earth;
you are exalted far above all gods.

10 The Lord loves those who hate* evil;
he guards the lives of his faithful;
he rescues them from the hand of the wicked.
11 Light dawns* for the righteous,
and joy for the upright in heart.
12 Rejoice in the Lord, O you righteous,
and give thanks to his holy name!
