Grace for your spirit October 17, 2008

Applying all diligence, in your faith supply moral excellence, and in your moral excellence, knowledge, and in your knowledge, self-control, and in your self-control, perseverance, and in your perseverance, godliness, and in your godliness, brotherly kindness, and in your brotherly kindness, love. II Peter 1:5-7

We are struggling for answers to cure our nations ills. Will it be more money? New leaders? More sacrifices? Does anyone have the answers? Yes, God does. May I suggest we start with Him. Faith in Christ, always doing what it right, learning the truth, controlling ourselves, being patient, practicing godly living, being kind to one another, and interacting with a giving love. With these abiding graces from the White House to the outhouse, from Wall Street to Main Street, God has a blessing waiting for us all. We had this once upon a time. We need it again. While we are waiting for all of this to trickle down, let it be our guiding principles starting today.

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit
Philippians 4:23
