God and Prayer.

 God and Prayer.

 

Neighbor Patty called this afternoon. She told me someone took a potshot at President Trump. It figures. Then Sterling reminded me that all we really can trust in is God and prayer. Of all the things that have happened during our lifetimes, we know that most of the things that have happened have had to be allowed by God. The old woman was born the same year that Israel became a nation. And now that nation is struggling with all the international bottom sediments of the greedy nations who surround them. Our entire earth is swirling around in filth and miasma that contaminates every aspect of our lives. The religion that promotes itself from super churches makes one wonder who could actually believe that these institutions are God-sent. You’ve all heard the song about the guy who thought he could buy his way to heaven by sending his money to the man with the big diamond rings. That truly happens still. When was the last time you saw a church out helping those without food or housing? If you find one, it would be worth helping. So many good families need help. And how much are we able to help? If we can’t give food or something to physically help, then we have something just as valuable—our prayers.

 

Noticed that a couple of states have decided to empty their prisons. A women’s prison in Oregon has done everything from serving rancid food to allowing male guards to stand next to women in the showers. Apparently, the pictures of black rats are found in the hallways to warn inmates not to “rat” on the prison or the guards. And in California, they simply cannot afford to keep the prisons open. This could get interesting. As if we did not already have enough crime and criminals, now we have millions of immigrants (illegals) to compound the problems. Sterling said that he wished my residence was closer to him, but it does not matter where we live. Our only protection is in God.

 

No sense getting down about what goes on around us. Some things might make it a bit more difficult to be thankful, but realistically, we are so very blessed. Most of us have been taught moral values from childhood. We know the scriptures that have led us to where we are: For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life. Stick with trusting God and spending time in prayer each day.

 

Rest well, my friends. You are loved.
