Let us focus our prayers today on our Love of God and our love of country!

As the poet Bob Dylan once sang “You’re gonna serve somebody”!

You may be an ambassador to England or France,
You may like to gamble, you might like to dance,
You may be the heavyweight champion of the world,
You may be a socialite with a long string of pearls

But you're gonna have to serve somebody, yes indeed
You're gonna have to serve somebody,
Well, it may be the devil or it may be the Lord
But you're gonna have to serve somebody.

You may be a preacher with your spiritual pride,
You may be a city councilman taking bribes on the side,
You may be workin' in a barbershop, you may know how to cut hair,
You may be somebody's mistress, may be somebody's heir

But you're gonna have to serve somebody, yes indeed
You're gonna have to serve somebody,
Well, it may be the devil or it may be the Lord
But you're gonna have to serve somebody.

The Bible says that Joshua was in the middle of a national crisis. These people had been delivered physically for bondage and slavery of Egypt, and yet they could not discern the spiritual nature of the times and conditions that they were presently living in. Joshua had checked out the land that God Almighty had promised to them. Joshua believed that God would not lie to His people. Joshua trusted God to fulfill His Divine Plan for the lives of this chosen nation of men, women, children and grandchildren, parents and grandparents, brothers, sisters, aunts and uncles, the People of God.

We have that same choice to make today – Believe God’s Promises for us or accept the government options of state control of every facet of our lives. This government already runs the banking industry, controls the insurance industry, and destroyed the auto industry and has yet to pay for the “cash for clunkers” program. Pending legislation will allow government control of payments for every doctor’s visit and every procedure that we the people want to have in the United States of America. If this “HealthCare Reform” passes, in its current form, we may lose our freedoms and become enslaved to the bureaucratic processes of a group of non-elected workers in Washington D.C.   

 

Lord Jesus, we have allowed the special interest groups in our national government to become self-serving, and morally corrupt. Have mercy upon us most merciful Lord. Forgive us for ignoring You!  Pardon us all for not trusting You Lord! Our children have not been taught about daily prayers in school since 1964. Since President Bush has left office, our Congressional leaders probably have not had daily prayers in the halls of Capitol building, nor in the White House. We as a nation are struggling with our own devices and our own desires and trying to work this out in our own strength. We, who are believers REPENT of these national sins and with God’s help will turn from our wicked ways. We hope that once again we can witness people flocking to local churches and synagogues to ask for Divine Protection from all our enemies both foreign and domestic.

And if it seems evil to you to serve the LORD, choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the {Potomac} River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell.

But as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.   Joshua 24:15

Lord Jesus, apart from Your Grace, we can do nothing in our own strength. We ask that You Lord would HEAL OUR LAND!  Restore Your Righteousness, Your Peace and Your Joy!

Amen and Amen!
