Blessed Is The Nation

Justice is defined as fairness, honesty, righteousness, and integrity.  Injustice is unfair, wrong...and if you dig a little deeper, it goes further to say it's immoral, corrupt, and wicked.  While I don't want to get into a political debate with anyone, because everyone is entitled to their own view - their own choices, a terrible injustice occurred in our nation this past week.

As I said, we're all entitled to make our own choice - God has given us that right.  However, when that choice is made, it should be fair.  And if it is fair, it's up to us to accept it as God's will.  If the outcome is unfair, we must not fear the enemy because God will fight for us. (Deuteronomy 3:22)

America has suffered many injustices this year alone, but the Lord tells us that if we'll humble ourselves and pray...if we'll seek His face and turn from our wicked ways, He will hear us.  And He will forgive us and heal our land. (2 Chronicles 7:14)  In other words, God has been removed from way too many places - our schools, our jobs, our government, our homes, our hearts.  It's time to put God back where He belongs!

                     "Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord."
Psalm 33:12

Today Is Precious

I was sitting here thinking about what to write today.  Nothing was coming to mind, so I sat down and I started writing a letter to the Lord.  I told Him I didn't know what to write today.  I told Him about all of the things that were on my mind...about all the things I needed to do.  I asked the Holy Spirit to help me to organize my day.  I told Him I didn't want to waste my day because it was precious.  Then I realized, that was it.  God wanted me to realize and talk about how precious today is...

Each day that the Lord gives us is precious.  It's a new beginning; a chance to start over.  It's a new day to talk to God, to spend time with God.  It's a new day to spend time with our family.  Time goes by so fast, and we never know when our time will be up.  So spend each day with God.  Spend it with your family and your friends.  Let them know just how much they mean to you.  Yes, you may need to clean the house, you may need to cook, you may have errands to run.  But what's more important is the people in your life.  

Don't waste time.  Don't waste today.  God has given us this day, and He wants us to enjoy it.  He wants us to live for Him.

                      "This is the day which the Lord hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it."
Psalm 118:24
