New things: Earthquake, Dancing at North Hills, starting my last year of seminary
A few weeks ago I was at a friend's house watching Bachelorette (no shame) when it was interrupted by a speech by our president informing the nation the financial woes we are facing. We too easily were inconvenienced by the interruption and less worried about the path our nation and leaders are swiftly pursuing. It is a slap in the face to our forefathers and our Heavenly Father by our complacency in money, power, entertainment, romance, and convenience. We are believing that America is invincible and we are blind to the fact that God is the same God of Noah.
America has "In God We Trust" stamped on the currency. What would happen if we didn't have money? Would we still trust God? What would happen if our freedom was taken away? Would there be a church on every corner prepared to face persecution? What if storms blew in destroyed the power industries, buildings, landmarks, banks, trading ports, and homes? Would we believe God is all we need? What if disease spread? Would we survive?
We don't know what will happen but we do have a choice to trust God. But we don't trust God now. Or else we would be praying for our leaders, pastors, parents, children. We don't have God's hand because we have money, we have been blessed by God's hand. We have a stewarship disorder or maybe just a greed sin.
My challenge is for us to start taking serious natural disasters, the national debt, leadership, and the Church's involvement in education and government. God is good and just!
