But we need to have a serious talk with ourselves and come to the realization that our faith is not to be in politicians, political parties, the value of the dollar or even the Constitution. Our FAITH is to be focused on the One who created us and who will help us persist, suffer through, and survive, come what may. We need to take our eyes off what the world is telling us is important and commit ourselves to following His path, which is laid out before us. Our faith will then infuse us with confidence, conviction, optimism and hope. Where He is leading us surpasses anyplace we can imagine. Let's show the world how followers of Jesus Christ conduct themselves when exercising their faith!

She couldn't sleep and checked the TV at 12:30 AM but didn't want to tell me the outcome until I awoke. I was just SO heart-broken and really had a difficult time processing what 50% of our nation believes. It bothered me until I reread Hebrews Chpt. 11. That did it for me ! Brought clarity to realize - come what may - it was time for us to really show what we are made of. FAITH ! Able, Abraham, Jacob, Sarah, Paul - so MANY ! I suppose there will be those that can't understand how WE " persevere " with faith as our bedrock belief - but that is what it must be ! Over and over He is telling us that FAITH is the one thing he expects of us .... especially us N.T. believers who have had so much revealed. I actually felt humbled by realizing how shallow my faith must appear to Him at times.<br />To all who read this - FAITH in HIM is ENOUGH !Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-367019700923216960.post-36021315830957171152012-11-07T11:41:47.192-06:002012-11-07T11:41:47.192-06:00We are not the only society in the history of the ...We are not the only society in the history of the world who has been disappointed with the direction of their leaders.

Yet the leaders of the party said the 'Yays' won - (a lie). So the Democratic party denied God 3 times (where have I read THAT before?), and supported a lie....<br /><br />I have read now that 4 states voted to support gay marriage - God deems that an abomination.<br /><br />A couple of states (including my Blue state of Colorado) voted *FOR* legalizing Marijuana....<br /><br />America voted for democratic principles - God sees that.<br /><br />We told our girls this morning as they were heading out to school (2 at a private Christian Highschool, one at a community college) that this is what 'guilt by association' is - we don't support what has gone on - yet America as a country has voted FOR being against God - we are all guilty..... oy....<br /><br />We are to work on our own little worlds - fighting for freedom.... yet, I still ask....<br /><br />Who is John Galt?<br /><br />May God have mercy on us....<br /><br />thx<br />RoryAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-367019700923216960.post-31455624799012236742012-11-07T07:53:04.106-06:002012-11-07T07:53:04.106-06:00Your husband is a very wise man.

That includes preparing for hard times, but also helping those who don't know Christ to come to a healing relationship with Him. His authority reigns over all, and when we stay centered in Him, we can remain calm throughout the storms and chaos of this world. Remember, we're one day closer to His return!

I guess I just hoped for something different. As my husband left for work he reminded me God is sovereign in all. We need to keep our eyes on this truth and keep preparing. (Just as you have said) Lord help us remember to turn our eyes upon you and the truth of the scripture. The end has already been written and our God Reigns. He will never leave us or forsake us and one day those who have put their full trust in him will be with him. Our time here is just a vapor and we will be with him for eternity.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
