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!!!!
