We waken this morning to the news that in January the USA will have Barak Obama as president. The majority has chosen. God has always allowed people to make choices. He then lets them experience the results of their choices.
In O.T. times the Israelis, Hischosen people, are examples of the cycle of human choices. The USA is one nation, also claiming to be under God. Where are we in this cycle? What can we expect next? Are we on the upward swing, orthe reverse?
Jesus came to earth to be crowned king and to set up His Kingdom. He was rejected of men. He foresaw the results of this rejection, and it caused Him to weep for the sake of the people. His Kingdom was not of this world, not visible to the world. His Kingdom was set up within the hearts of people who crowned Him King in their hearts, and obeyed Him, even while physically still living in the kingdom of this world. The spirit of God within them, is greater than the spirit that is in this world. This is the victory that overcomes the world, even our faith in what Jesus did when He gave His life to pay the penalty of death that we deserve. No matter what the world around us chooses, the believer in Jesus has chosen Jesus as King! Under His blood we are safe. The Israelis leaving the bondage of Egypt were safe, the believers in God in Jerico, were safe from destruction, because of the blood, the scarlet chord. Believe in your heart, confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus Christ, and you shall be safe. Yes, in this world we shall have tribulation, but be of good cheer!
In Jesus, protected by His blood, you are an overcomer.
Trusting Him!

I pledge allegiance to the Flag
of the United States of America,
and to the Republic for which it stands:
one Nation under God, indivisible,
With Liberty and Justice for all.
Simple words with great meaning. As the boys were trick or treating Friday night, Tatum saw a flag on a house and stopped to say the Pledge of Allegiance. I was touched in that moment to hear those words out of his precious mouth. He doesn't fully understand all of it, but he knows it's really important and is something to be honored. I and so many others take those words for granted and unfortunately, many don't realize the beauty of those words and what has made our country great. I'm glad Tatum reminded me as he spoke with innocence and pride.
I hate to be political, but VOTE (if you haven't already). We need to make sure our country is one Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.
I'm pretty sure I'm peaching to the choir on this one! :)
