W A L KI NT H EL I G H T


You are the fountain of Life, the Light by which we see. Pour out Your unfailing Love on those who love You; give justice to those with honest hearts.
—Psalm 36:9-10

Blessed are those who have learned to acclaim you, who walk in the light of your presence, Lord.
—Psalm 89:15

If we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, His Son, purifies us from all sin.
—1 John 1:7

Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.
—Matthew 5:16

For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light.
—Ephesians 5:8

Father above,
Almighty King, bringer of Light to a dark world, we worship You!

“A lie,” it was once said, “can travel halfway around the world before the truth can get its pants on in the morning.” Today's lies are broadcast digitally and spread virally, instantaneously; against which there is no vaccine but You, Lord God.

You sent Your Son Jesus to be the Light of the World, to bring truth to those who can hear the truth (John 18:37). Spread Your disinfecting light on the schemes of faithless electors, Father, and on their macabre cheerleaders in the media.

We pray for our hearts to remain within Your spotlight, taking joy in Your illumination of our paths as individuals and Your will for our struggling country, even when we are reviled for Your name's sake (1 Peter 2:23). Help us to help others out of darkness through the light of Your Word.

Into the warmth of Your light we commend our President and his team, and all who must grapple with today's blatantly evil lies, whether they are our military, first responders, healthcare workers, teachers, pastors, community and national leaders, or especially parents and children. May Your light shine into every corner of every heart in this country, to separate eternal values from ephemeral waste.

May righteousness prevail; but if the weight of sin is too great and our beloved nation should suffer for it, it is only what she deserves. May Your people who are called by Your name continue to cling to Your Word and share Your Truth, no matter the cost in this fallen world.

For You have not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, and love, and of a sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7).

In You we trust,

Amen.

I Will Lift My Eyes

God, my God, I cry out
Your beloved needs You now
God, be near, calm my fear and take my doubt
Your kindness is what pulls me up
Your love is all that draws me in

I will lift my eyes to the maker of the mountains I can’t climb
I will lift my eyes to the calmer of the oceans raging wild
I will lift my eyes to the healer of the hurt I hold inside
I will lift my eyes, lift my eyes to You

God, my God, let mercy sing her melody over me
And God, right here, all I bring is all of me
Your kindness is what pulls me up
Your love is all that draws me in

I will lift my eyes to the maker of the mountains I can’t climb
I will lift my eyes to the calmer of the oceans raging wild
I will lift my eyes to the healer of the hurt I hold inside
I will lift my eyes, lift my eyes to You

’Cause You Are and You Were and You Will Be forever
The lover I need to save me
’Cause You fashioned the earth and You hold it together, God
So hold me now

I will lift my eyes to the maker of the mountains I can’t climb
I will lift my eyes to the calmer of the oceans raging wild
I will lift my eyes to the healer of the hurt I hold inside
I will lift my eyes, lift my eyes to You
I will lift my eyes, lift my eyes to You

And God, my God, I cry out
Your beloved needs You now

Video: USPS Worker Placed on UNPAID LEAVE For Blowing Whistle on Backdating of Ballots
Red State Nation ^ | 11.10.2020 | Sarah Hall

The U.S. Postal Service whistleblowers assigned to the General Mail Facility in Erie Pennsylvania agreed last week to come forward to go on the record using his real name.

“He is going to testify about the backdating of ballots in Erie, Pennsylvania, in a battleground state,” said James O’Keefe, the founder and CEO of Project Veritas.

“He’s scared,” O’Keefe said. “He’s afraid he’s going to lose his job.”

The Erie, Pennsylvania-based postal service whistleblower is named: Richard Hopkins, he said.

Hopkins said, “I’m nervous. I am nervous because this is a big deal.”

Some people at his work surmised that he was the one to talk to Project Veritas about the scheme to postmark late ballots with ‘Nov. 3,’ which was Election Day, he said.

“I did not witness them backdating, I witnessed them talking about backdating,” he said.

“Other employees feel the same way I do, but they do not want to say anything,” Hopkins said. “They contacted me, and actually were like: ‘That was badass and what-not. They were kind of glad that I did what I did—because they know things are—some odd stuff.”

O’Keefe said, “He is a courageous soul, and he is going to inspire so many people.”

Already, Hopkins is getting hassled by his union over a previous incident that was resolved months ago,” he said.

Lord, this man and his actions are answers to prayer. We ask YOUR protection and dedication to justice, true weights, and righteous government. Surround him and all like him with a hedge of protection. Cover him and his loved ones in Your Son’s blood. Inspire and comfort him, and if he is not saved, Save him. Bless him. And please send more! In Jesus ‘ Name, amen
