It Is About God Not Government

I have reached a point that it is hard to look at the news anymore. I am tired of all the man made efforts that refuse to include God in the answer. The Democrats want us to spend our way out of this economic mess. The Republicans want a different approach using tax cuts to increase jobs. Neither side includes God in the answer and God is the only answer. Let us examine II Chronicles 7:14: "If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land." The Hebrew word for humble is kana and it means to bend the knee, to fold together, to be low, and to submit oneself as a package to the Lord to be what He pleases and to go wherever the Lord wills. Without humbling, there will be no healing of the land. Our government refuses to humble; it wants to fight and blame others for the mess we are in. The truth is, that we are in this mess because we as a nation have rejected God. He is out of our schools, our commerce, and our government. Is there any wonder that we find ourselves in this dilemma? Congress, White House, and all government officials, begin by humbling yourself before the mighty hand of God. He will lead us; God opens the windows of heaven for repentance and humility. Forget the news, get low, real low before Him and perhaps He will heal this mess.
