The Devotional – As a nation we must...

Comment: Once again I am experiencing email troubles. Since Thursday of last week I have not been able to utilize my working email for devotionals. I have struggled with this before and have decided to use an alternate method, a method that is already in place but some who have preferred the devotionals by email may not be aware of. I use “Blogger” “Twitter” and “facebook” to deliver the devotional each morning. So I suppose the time has come for me to ask all of those (74) who look for the email to log on to any of those three sites to continue to read. If you have any problems with this please contact me by email – jesse.a27@yahoo.com Thank you.

Devotional: This morning, like most every weekday, I seek to watch a few minutes of news and I am sure that I am not alone in this. Yet as I watched, I thought about the troubling condition of the world around us. If we dwell on the subjects covered in the news (like some do) our day can turn out full of worry, fear and even confusion. Worries over the economy of our private lives and of the nation, fears over our private lives and our nation and sadly confusion of our private moral standards and that too of our nation.

Do we need to change our mind about our private and national life? YES! Yes we do! Thankfully there are not many options; there are not 300 gods to choose from to correct our wayward ways, there is not even four or five deities to help us return to a stable family platform or a secure nation position in the world around us. THERE IS ONLY ONE GOD! He is the Creator God, He alone holds life and death in the palm of HIS Hand. Now when we think of life and death we think only of human life, but God considers the life or death of a nation too.

“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of GOD to salvation (the salvation of ONE or the salvation of a NATION) for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek (Gentile). For the Righteousness of GOD is revealed from FAITH to FAITH: as it is written: “the just shall live by faith!” Romans 1:16-17, if you have the time you might read Romans 18-31, this is what we are saved from.
