God is not running for Office!

Psalm 4 (New International Version, ©2010)

 6 Many, LORD, are asking, “Who will bring us prosperity?”
   Let the light of your face shine on us.
7 Fill my heart with joy
   when their grain and new wine abound.
 8 In peace I will lie down and sleep,
   for you alone, LORD,
   make me dwell in safety.

It's January and we are full of so much hope for the new year. Now that our politicians have had their time off, they are back to work and ready to save the world., at least that's what they tell us.  They are absolutely sure they have all the correct answers. David knew that men were not going to bring his country into prosperity, God was.  God is the only one that can restore us to true prosperity. Our Country has  drifted so far from God. Before prosperity happened, David knew he was safe. He could lie down at night and sleep knowing God was in charge. Without God at the center of our Nation, we can not begin to enjoy the blessings. We can not dwell in the safety of his arms.

Our nation still has a huge unemployment problem. Many in Dekalb County and the nation have given up on work and don't show up on the improving unemployment numbers. My advice to them, don't give up! Go to sleep at night and put your trust in the light. You will be guaranteed prosperity through the savior. He will prosper you in ways you can not imagine. You can trust him when both republicans and democrats disappoint. He is not interested in the next election, he is interested in you!  His Love abounds. His Grace is sufficient.

Dear Lord, Thank you for loving us through poverty and prosperity. Please help those who are suffering right now. Give them strength to rely on you. Give them the peace they need to rest at night. Give them the patience to wait on the Lord. Thank you for your Blessings. Thank you for your Grace. You are an amazing and powerful God and we Love you with all our heart. Amen!
