IN
WHOM WILL YOU TRUST?
Federal
elections on both sides
of the border are fast
approaching and the
mud slinging is increasing.
Gone are the issues,
replaced instead with
intent to demean and
discredit opponents.
Rhetoric abounds and
controversies, scandals,
and rumours are timely
released from mysteriously
obtained documents.
It
seems that the strategy
is to present carefully
thought out plans, demonstrate
character and integrity
and instill a sense
of confidence in abilities
with sensitivity to
the electorate, but
instead the last one
standing with the least
amount of unpleasantness
attached to them wins.
Speech
writers and those who
make their living grooming
personalities take precedence
over candidates demonstrating
morality, truth and
honesty.
If
we place our confidence
in elected officials
we will never have peace.
We should pray for them
but our faith and trust
must be placed upon
the only One who is
Pure, Holy and Faithful,
the Lord God.
Today's
Scripture goes on to
say, "But you would
have none of it."
V15B
Don't reject God's plea
to be included in your
life. He sent His Only
Son as a demonstration
of His love for you.
His desire is for you,
and when you receive
Jesus you make peace
with your Heavenly Father
and your life is opened
to the endless opportunities
of His eternal plan
for you.
Rejoice
in the Lord Always!
