Politics of the day

Often I find myself caught up in some worthless political debate. Seems everyone has an opinion, and everyone thinks they're right. In prayer, God's told me time and time again to avoid such foolish chatter. The reality is, unless the people of this world fall on their knees, repent and turn back to God, it doesn't matter who gets elected! The end result is, without such a revival, we're quickly headed for judgment. God in His mercy has waited and waited. Instead of repentance, He sees violence, immorality and every evil imaginable. When His hand of judgment falls it will be swift and sure. Even if every person bands together, kicks out every corrupt politician and elects a near perfect governing body, it won't matter. Politicians can't change the hearts of people. And that's the real issue, the world has abandoned itself to wholesale evil. God cannot and will not sit idly by forever. His hand of judgment will fall soon.

Forgive me Lord

Forgive me Lord for sins long past, and those for which I haven't asked. Forgive me when I neglect to pray; instead, desiring my own way...
