Wow! Are you thrilled? Ticked-off? Clueless or indifferent about what is going on concerning the debate and passage of Health Care Reform in our country?Opinions along with a boat load of emotions are flying everywhere, I mean some feel this is the best thing to happen in our country in a long time, others feel that this is going to do us in– and are frustrated about it.
In politics, this stuff is inevitable – so there you have it. I am so grateful that we live in a country where we can express freely, where we can vote and participate in the process, it's great and I wouldn't trade America for anywhere...
But here's something that concerns me...I wonder how many Christians have had their responsibility to our leaders which is to pray swallowed up in all the rancor and emotion of the hour...
I understand how this so easily happens...after all we deal with the flesh and it's appetites everyday–and oh, how our flesh loves this stuff.
So just a little Pastoral reminder...in the midst of all this freedom of speech remember that whether you agree or not, President Obama, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid and all the congressional leaders that are serving in our nations business should be getting our prayers at least... Check out what Paul said.
And then remember 2 Chronicles 7:14...our only real hope of surviving anything.
I love the debate, but let's remember that it is our responsibility, whether appreciated or not, to uphold this nation and all of our leaders in this incredible privilege called "Prayer"
Just something to think about...
Love you,
