Sin has attacked our character as a nation and opened the door to corrupt governing and immoral lifestyle choices. We need to make renewed national commitment to God in America.
Through God, there is hope in turning from our sinful ways. We did not need the stimulus if we will believe:
The Lord does not let the righteous go hungry but he thwarts the craving of the wicked. Lazy hands make a man poor, but diligent hands bring wealth.Prov 10:3-4 (NIV)Those who trust in the Lord will be saved. If we become diligent, we will become wealthy (especially if we pay off our personal debts and put away money for a rainy day and live without letting money control our lives). But mainly, learning to trust God and doing good will ensure:
Trust in the Lord and do good; dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture. Delight yourself in the Lord and he will give you the desires of your heart.Psalms 37:3-4 (NIV)The NLT versions says, "Then you will live safely in the land and prosper." Sounds Spock-ish, but King David first said it. Ask yourself what your heart's desires are. How prepared are you to trust in God to help lead us out of our mess?
The 50 Day Challenge
What we need are fifty days of fasting and praying. Each day will represent each state. In fact, we should have each state hold a fast so that each day is covered. For example, people in Georgia cover day one, Alabama covers day two, Florida day three and so on until all fifty states have participated in the fast and have prayed.
If you like this idea, email your friends and leave your comments. Maybe we could start this by March and even get government officials and others to sign on. Thanks!
