Last Prayer

I've prayed often these last 4 years for the man who was then president, as scripture commands us.  One last prayer today for him, now that he is at last our EX-president.

This has to be the bitterest day of his life, exposing him before all the world as (in his own terms) a “big LOSER.”  So maybe this is the moment at which he can finally hear God speaking to him.

IF he will examine his heart for the ways that have brought on him what he considers this bitter failure, and will repent those evil ways, his soul and his life might yet be saved.

So I pray this last time that he will honestly examine his heart, and repent before God.

In Jesus' name, amen.

Inauguration Day

God says not to trust in man. Even if He didn’t, no wise person would. All human beings are fallible. The best of us make harmful mistakes: even the most upright of us may WILLFULLY turn from righteousness.

So this is not about the man himself: he is fallible and will make mistakes: but I’m hopeful in the things on which our new President has set his heart.  Foremost, his sincere faith in God; his belief in Christ’s teachings, and his determination to do as Christ commands.

Our nation’s greatest needs are exactly what Christ commanded of us all: heal the sick, show mercy to the poor and aliens, “speak the truth in love” (Ephesians 4:15), and love one another.

I trust all honest Americans, even (if any) among “Christian conservatives” and Republicans, wish these things for our country.  I trust all honest Americans will join in doing God’s will for our suffering nation.

Amen !
