HEALING AMERICA

203 – Wednesday, July 22, 2009

It would seem that in only about six months our president’s popularity has taken a nose dive – understandable! His was a no-win situation only exacerbated by his ‘critical emergency’ handling of the affairs of the economy coupled with his apologetic approach to the international community as though the culpability for the global state of affairs is totally ours. But that is what is so great about this country – when the leadership of the nation falters, we, the people, hold the remedy! When management of affairs of state are bungled and no longer serve the needs of those it represents, it is a call to arms to the populace to get up off the couch and get involved and make something better for ourselves – that is exactly what I anticipate will happen! When our quality of life is threatened, we have two choices – we can idly sit by and accept whatever is done to us as ‘out of our control’ or we can lift our arms in an iron-willed movement to reclaim liberties once vibrant within the tapestry of our free land! Yes, I am flag-waving a little today, but it is about time for us to do just that! When the ‘representative government’ is no longer representing the people, then it is “time for a change” - that was the slogan upon which Mr. Obama leveraged his campaign, was it not? Oh, he has made some changes alright – the kind we will, our children will, and our grandchildren will be paying for – but we can overcome that too! The most incredible thing about the American community is its resiliency – our ability to bounce back!! Let’s set our sights on obtaining a national healing and not stop until we have gotten it! We have a lot of work to do, but God has given us a formula: 2 Chronicles 7:14 (King James Version) ¹⁴If 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. (Emphases and bold, mine – the rest is a promise from God!)
