Fear No Evil

Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil...   (Psalm 23:4 NIV)

Terrorists of all types may want to maim and kill me, you, or any of our fellow citizens in an effort to strike fear into our collective soul.  These hateful actions are doomed to fail if Americans allow God to be our protector and source of comfort.

You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies.  You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.  (Psalm 23:5 NIV)

God is willing to be a safe harbor during these stormy and frightening times.  He is a healer who can take what was meant for evil and make it good.  He is the one with all power in His hands, well able to make sure our foes see America prosper despite it being attacked on many fronts.  We can sit at a table filled with bounty while abundant blessings flow into every area of our lives.  Every one of us can have the last laugh because fiery darts have no power when The Lord is our shield.  

Victory is not a dream but a forgone conclusion when one commits to knowing and believing the Word of God found in the Bible.  If Americans walk in faith without fear or anger, we can expect to keep receiving beautifully good things until our entire nation experiences the joy of living in the overflow.  So, let's us pray for relief, expecting to defeat terrorism with a God-given bravery and dignity.  America's enemies will wither before our eyes. 

Honor Your Countrymen

Be devoted to one another in love.  Honor one another above yourselves.  (Romans 12:10)

There are Americans who are hungry, homeless, and literally on the brink of death both physically and emotionally.  Many of us walk by them every day, failing to realize they are our concern.  This nation values the hard worker who hustles to pull herself up by her bootstrap.  These success stories are wonderful to see.  Yet, this does not mean those less fortunate or ingenious must be denied a helping hand.  It is time for us to show our loving devotion to one another.  We honor another when we give up things of great value in order to meet a neighbor’s needs.  It could be money, one of our homes or cars, knowledge, time, a caring ear, or even our professional connections.  This nation will become even more powerful when its citizens are committed to having everyone live the American dream, no matter the cost.  Radical acts of kindness toward each other will without question lead to radical blessings from God.  And He is more generous than any of us could dream. 

Make America Prosperous

Study this Book of Instruction (The Bible) continually. Meditate on it day and night so you will be sure to obey everything written in it. Only then will you prosper and succeed in all you do.  (Joshua 1:8)


Prosperity is:

1) Every American remaining positive and unafraid through good and bad times.  No value can be put on this type of joy. 
2) America managing its finances so that every citizen has safe housing, superior healthcare, an excellent education, access to employment, adequate care when she is elderly, etc.
3) The desire and ability to protect your emotional and physical health.
4) Defining success by your willingness to use your talents to help other people.  This purpose, no matter what it is, should be chosen wisely.
5) Being surrounded by loved ones, be it family or friends.  It is about knowing you do not have to travel the path alone.
6) Seeking fellowship with God.  You spend time with Him, seeking his counsel, because he is a trusted friend.
7) A mind open to receiving wisdom.  Anyone can be the vessel through which God speaks.

Americans heed the call to study and meditate on the Word of God at all times.  Make America a truly strong and prosperous nation.

True American Patriot

The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines a patriot as "a person who loves and strongly supports or fights for his or her country."  

Do you love this country enough to take a leap faith?  Believe there is a God.

For ever since the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky. Through everything God made, they can clearly see his invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature. So they have no excuse for not knowing God. (Romans 1:20 NLT)

Are you willing to fight back unbelief and know God is the answer to all that ails this nation?  Be a true patriot and pray to God about how each one of us can help every woman, man, and child living in America find healing. 

Then call on me when you are in trouble, and I will rescue you, and you will give me glory.  (Psalm 50:15)

There would be an outpouring of love, kindness, justice, and honor.  Our country would be at peace.  We would be living proof of God’s awesome power and grace.
