Grandchildren are the crowning glory of the aged; parents are the pride of their children. (Proverbs 17:6)
The preamble of the Constitution of the United States of America confidently declares:
"We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish
Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the
general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."
The founders of this nation considered liberty to be a blessing that needed to be secured for themselves and their posterity. All Americans can take great pride in the fact that our founding "fathers" set this nation along the right path.
But today we can become their crowning glory by making sure the vision is completely inclusive so that this “blessing” applies equally to every American and our country's guests. We can make this land a place where justice truly is blind. Domestic tranquility will come if the big, the small, the powerful, and the weak all have a voice in the way our government is run.
Having a shared and common goal of promoting the general welfare of every citizen, and this union by extension, is the best defense against any enemy who desires to steal our freedoms. It is time to start brainstorming to come up with practical ways of ensuring such a lofty dream comes true. Fellow Americans, we want our children to be proud of us and the U.S.

An Eye-Opener
Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch. (Matthew 15:14 KJV)
The worst fear of an utterly blind man is to have his kindness be mistaken for weakness. A woman who lacks wisdom and insight wonders why she has to keep climbing out of a ditch. Americans deserve so much better from their leaders. It is time for us to demand more of ourselves. Diligently look for ways to help your neighbors and this nation grow stronger. This is actually a good time to walk toward the light. Do not go to the left or the right. Seek the Lord because He will order our steps along a path that leads to great success.

Leave No Person Behind
The king’s heart is a stream of water in the hand of the LORD; he turns it wherever he will. (Proverbs 21:1 ESV)
Americans do not live in a nation where a king can issue commands and edicts without any checks and balances. We should be praised for wanting to create a democracy which at its best can allow every citizen to have a voice. Yet, a system has been set up where each one of us has surrogates in the form of politicians. Voices often can get muffled as cries for relief and consideration go up the chain of command, especially if a group is small in number or has limited political/economic clout. But there is a way to avoid this pitfall.
The President of the United States of America is our "king" for all intents and purposes. It is this person's responsibility not to rule us with an iron rod but to be our standard bearer. The POTUS must exhibit integrity which is defined as "the quality of being honest and fair". This is what God talks about in the Bible from beginning to end. It would be a wonderful thing if Americans had a leader whose heart was in His hand. This public servant would be turned towards conduct that manifests the highest principle. Find a way to extend a loving and dependable hand in every situation.
It pleases God to never forget about the needs of one person on this earth. He exhibits wisdom and grace by always choosing a course of action that balances the needs of anyone and everyone. We can demand that from ourselves and the POTUS.

Pleasant Words are Honey
A
wise person’s thoughts control his words,
and his speech promotes instruction.
Pleasant
words are honey from a honeycomb—
sweet to the soul and healing for the body
(Proverbs 16:23-24 ISV)
Love
never gives up.
Love
cares more for others than for self.
Love
doesn’t want what it doesn’t have.
Love
doesn’t strut,
Doesn’t
have a swelled head,
Doesn’t
force itself on others,
Isn’t
always “me first,”
Doesn’t
fly off the handle,
Doesn’t
keep score of the sins of others,
Doesn’t
revel when others grovel,
Takes
pleasure in the flowering of truth,
Puts
up with anything,
Trusts
God always,
Always
looks for the best,
Never
looks back,
But
keeps going to the end.
(1 Corinthians 13:3-7 MSG)
America must be a place where the wise reign and spread health to every citizen.

Believe Like a Child
Truly I tell you, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it." (Mark 10:15)
A study on three-year-old reported in Psychological Science showed that young children believe what they are told even if they see something contradictory to what has been said. Believers are commanded to walk by faith in God's Word and not by sight just like these little ones. God extends an invitation to anyone who will seek Him diligently. You can gain entrance into a powerful kingdom where prayers are answered always and joy abounds because love reigns.
Americans need, more than ever, a reliable source of relief and protection. This nation is standing at a crossroads. Every citizen knows something is not quite right in this country. There is an undercurrent of pain, anger, and frustration threatening to tear us apart. It is seen in the increasingly frequent acts of gun violence, in the communities scarred by rioting, and in the faces of our children who seem to lack purpose or direction. I would be amiss if I failed to mention God is gracious. There is still a lot for which we can be grateful but... That word "but" changes the course of the discussion.
The entire nation can be even more blessed if a few bold ones will not settle. There is no reason to be swayed by the mountain of trouble Americans see daily when God says there is power of life and death in the tongue. The prayerful ones who have planted the Word of God in their hearts can have what they say. They must declare America to be the land of the free and the home the brave in expectation of having this become manifest.
This a call to rise up and to set a good example for everyone in your sphere of influence. Seek places where the Word of God is spoken, hold those promises in your heart, and do not be discouraged by the state of the union. Speak words of this hope so that everyone around you, like little children, can learn to be encouraged by the thought of good and pleasant things despite the adverse circumstances they are facing. Create a chain reaction of blessings that overwhelms then transforms America.

Pray Before Voting (VIDEO INCLUDED)
Only God knows who is the best candidate for the job of POTUS. Seek His guidance before voting.
Both candidates are flawed just like everyone else.
How can I know all the sins lurking in my heart? Cleanse me from these hidden faults. (Psalm 19:12)
Which candidate exhibits the greatest capacity to grow and to take this nation along for that magnificent ride? Fellow voters choose in good conscience. Think outside the box and consider who can balance the needs of every American. The best leader will inspire each one of us to give up something so that, in the end, everyone wins. It will be possible but not easy.
