Have you ever thought of humbling yourself before GOD and asking Him for help? It works!
Oh, yeah. Sure can't count on men. Like I have said over and over, it ain't about me. I can speak of my situation to put a real face on what it does to people. What's happening to me and my coworkers is done. I think God can intervene in that situation; but, I have no illusions that it would be resolved otherwise - especially not by saying anything about it here. I mean, you can see the responses of some of our fellow "compassionate conservatives" lol. They're trying to cover their butts, blame others and protect their percentages for as long as they can get people to buy their story. They couldn't care less otherwise imo. Not all of us are like that and Many others here not only share my stance but are more vocal even than I am.
As far as what I earn, I don't look to be rich. I work at a job I love earning a wage that allows me to have a home and deal with my expenses the majority of the time. I ain't greedy. I just want to live and be left alone to live. Politicians and corporations just can't help but screw people everytime the tide changes. I've grown up watching the lives of people run through the ringer by government policy changes that end up affecting their jobs. We put up with stuff from politicians that we would never stand for from our neighbors, our kids or our siblings. I can go to God. But my job as a Christian is to love my neighbor as myself. If I see a wrong and don't act, I'm as responsible for it as if I'd committed the wrong myself. So, then, do I sit on my behind and let it happen, or do I work to fix it? I ain't using God as a scapegoat for inaction. We either do what's right or we don't. And letting others be treated in a fashion that I have been, knowing in my gut it's wrong, is unthinkable so long as I have a voice to give to it.. however small my effort may be, it is still effort instead of inaction.
France and the UN didn't want us going into Iraq for all sort of trumped up excuses. They screamed and hollared and carried on feeding everyone their story. What did we find when we got there - violations they were up to their necks in. If it's the French, they're untrustworthy surrender monkeys. When guys in our own party pull this crap, we stand by as though saying nothing makes it go away or perhaps saying it's ok cause they got our label. Abusing others and making excuses to hide from the truth because you're profiting from things that harm others is wrong no matter the pin on the lapel or the flag on the pole. Faith is great; but, unless you act on it, it's worthless. The wrights and others could believe all they wanted that flight was possible; but, unless they acted on it, it was never gonna happen. You can say you love your neighbor; but, if you stand by while your neighbor is wronged, you're a liar.
The Lord God can help in any situation - after you get straightened out about something real important: Who the Boss is.
