I completely understand. I have been fasting 3 days a week for the last 2 months praying for the election. I haven’t eaten since Sunday. (On a positive note, I am now within 2 pounds of my driver’s license weight for the first time in 10 years!). Am I disappointed today? Absolutely. Am I concerned for what the next few years will bring? Sure.
But I don’t believe my prayers have gone unanswered or that the answer was “No, I plan to let America crash into the dust.”
I think that this generation has been given a heaping helping of be careful what you ask for — sometimes it takes that to put some spine into people. I think that reality will deal harshly with the mushy moderates who will regret their vote and that we can talk conservatism until we are blue in the face but it’s going to take stone cold hardship to change minds. I think that God has given us a clean slate as Republicans to refocus and refresh our party. I think that we may be entering a “Babylonian captivity” which God used to preserve, renew, and ultimately advance his people.
So I have hope for this nation (and not the kind Obama promised), but more importantly I have hope in the Lord. And I am so enjoying this ham and cheese omelet this morning...think I’ll chase it with a handful of my kid’s Halloween candy.
I used to be able to do that. Sigh.
Thank you for those encouraging words. I still could cry but I know tears do nothing. This just didnt happen last night, this happened many years ago. I would say in the 80’s the revolution of free sex and homosexuality. Christians remaind asleep. Then we had 911 an opportunity to give answers and help to a nation that needed consoling and hope. Bush took us down a road of dispare without answers The church sounded in the 2004 vote and our President and House and Senate did nothing!!!Except fill their pockets and whoop it up in the White House with prostitutes and young interns ( on our dime). America was searching....Kids in the meantime were being fed anti-American values, bibles taken away, parental rights out the door, redifining marriage arrived and again the church (the people) didnt unite or stand for Gods values! WE dont teach because half of us dont even know what God stands for or even who God is anymore...we know more about 24 and our kids know more about Miley Cirus than the living God!
Obama and company stepped in and offered Hope and Change and you know what those college kids soaked it up. They want hope and they needed something more than the words of people who lost their trust! This is a wake up call. The Republicans need more,, they are going to need a person of substance and character......Joe the Plumber is not going to be their to carry the next one.
Who will it be? I dont know, but we need to teach our children and encourage them to be leaders in the community and continue to write Gods words over our door posts and read to them day and night so they do not forget!
God is speaking, and I hope America will now listen and answer with Yes, Lord HERE AM I!!!! Humble thy self in the sight of the Lord and He will lift you up.
God Bless
