Today, I am feeling unhappy with myself. I look at this picture and
think- Groucho is "dead on". The political situation has become so bad
in this country that I find it very difficult to respect ANYONE holding
political office. While I am sure that there are many fine men and
women who are genuinely trying to serve our country, yet all I can seem
to think about is how corrupt our rulers have become. Today, please be
kind enough to say a prayer for me, as I need to get over this improper
attitude; for I know the Scripture that says...
Romans, Chapter 13
Let
every soul be in subjection to the higher authorities, for there is no
authority except from God, and those who exist are ordained by God. 2 Therefore
he who resists the authority, withstands the ordinance of God; and
those who withstand will receive to themselves judgment. 3 For
rulers are not a terror to the good work, but to the evil. Do you
desire to have no fear of the authority? Do that which is good, and you
will have praise from the same, 4 for
he is a servant of God to you for good. But if you do that which is
evil, be afraid, for he doesn’t bear the sword in vain; for he is a
servant of God, an avenger for wrath to him who does evil. 5 Therefore you need to be in subjection, not only because of the wrath, but also for conscience’ sake. 6 For this reason you also pay taxes, for they are servants of God’s service, attending continually on this very thing. 7 Give
therefore to everyone what you owe: taxes to whom taxes are due;
customs to whom customs; respect to whom respect; honor to whom honor. 8 Owe no one anything, except to love one another; for he who loves his neighbor has fulfilled the law.
Thank you- and don't forget to pray for this great land!!! It is worth it!!!! God will listen if we will pray!!!!
