Our US Government supplies us plenty to discuss, worry about, criticize, and debate. Mainstream media lavishes us with extraordinarily important news we can sink our teeth into…Michele embraced the Queen, how touching…and her wardrobe was impeccable, President Obama gifted the Queen with an iPod full of his speeches, and heaven forbid, teleprompters do break down, leaving eloquence in the dust, for a few moments.
This is a challenge to you, me, and all people of this great nation. Let us focus less on our inexperienced leader and his bosses in Congress this coming week, and more on the quiet message that is pleading to be heard. The real Savior of the World entered on a donkey, not Air Force One, and never needed a screen to remember words he alone spoke to the people.
We now begin a week of Holiness and tremendous significance to Christians around the world. We are bound by love and the message of forgiveness, no matter our political affiliation, prosperity, color, gender, height, weight, where we live, or any other way we are described by society. None of those things are important, as we celebrate the message HE spoke, and the guidelines HE provided for the well being of the world.
Maybe, IF we get back to the basics JESUS proclaimed, and don’t let political correctness silence us, we can work our way out of the mess our Country faces. People in Elba, Alabama, Newton, New Jersey, Boomer, West Virginia, Belleville, Illinois, Ishpeming, Michigan, Huber Heights, Ohio, Helotes, Texas, Mountain Home, Idaho, Lynch, Kentucky…. all have voices in this wonderful Country. We are not made up of big cities alone, but many small specks in the road, where a way of life has been carved and enjoyed by the residents of those towns. WE THE PEOPLE of the entire United States need to place our daily issues, family problems, employment difficulties, monetary needs, physical and mental ailments, and government strife, into the only hands capable of making a difference, those of JESUS.
As we congregate this week to acknowledge the LORD of LORDS, let us be quiet and listen for HIS voice in the chaos of everyday life. Whispers are heard when voices become silent. New vision and direction can be implemented IF it originates from the HOLY source…slow down, and look for answers in the most unlikely places. This week, focus on the ONE person throughout history and eternity, who truly deserves our total love and adoration.
