Another election, another opportunity for America to swing in the opposite direction. Clearly, among a myriad of other things, the economy is in deep trouble, spending is out of control, the education system is a mess, immigration is a major problem. Michelle Obama spoke recently, somewhere, recalling the “movement of change” the president promised not so long ago. I think it’s clear, we’re desperate for a NEW movement of change.
What frustrates me is the fact that politics get in the way of the real problems. Okay, so the republicans have a voice again. I say, put your political swords down and use your voice to pull for real change – the kind of change that will restore some dignity to our country. The kind of change that will stabilize our teetering economy, the kind of change that brings healthy solutions to immigration. The kind of change that brings lasting reform to our education system. The people have spoken, please, please work on behalf of the people.
I get so tired of schmolitics – it’s wearying to my soul. We’ve been down this road before, and it was embarrassing. We’re in trouble – let’s work together, on many levels, for a new “new movement of change” for the sake of our great nation!
If you’re a follower of Jesus Christ, pray for our government. I admit…my prayers for America are erratic. I don’t feel we deserve His grace – He’s poured it out and we’ve rejected it on so many levels. But, because God is long-suffering and merciful, I’m compelled to pray, afresh, for God’s generous wisdom to flow freely in the House and Senate. Join me. May we repent, on behalf of our country, for turning its eyes away from Him and the Biblical principles upon which our nation was founded. Let’s band together before the throne of grace.
