Thankful Thursday

Today I am thankful for these things plus more:

1. I can breathe again, and I think my voice sounds good.
2. Even though my company is making changes in our health coverage that will result in higher out of pocket expense for me, I still will have affordable health insurance and excellent medical care.
3. For the US electoral process. We can have a major change in parties in control yet there was rioting in the streets, businesses and schools didn’t have to close.
4. Roll, Tide, Roll. Need I say more?

The reason there was not a lot of rioting in the streets is because those who did not want to see the "Golden Boy" win were not doing enough to keep him out of office. They are sitting at home on their blessed assurance hoping God will sort everything out for them.

While it is true that he will; in the meantime we must be waiting upon God which like almost everything else in the Bible is a paradox. That is not to say that the Bible is anything but the infallible Word of God; that is to say that "waiting on God" does not mean to sit on ones hands and do nothing.

Rather in the case of the recent elections, those who call themselves - what is the new buzz word? Oh yes, Evangelicals did not do enough to make their voices heard.

They stopped their ears from hearing, saying it's God's will that he gets in there - they sat on their hands watching American Idol, or other senseless television instead of exhorting one another to sway the tide back to the truth of the Word of God.

Had we been living and active like the Word of God, we would not have a sodomite loving, family hating, Muslim, baby killer about to take the highest office in the free world.

There should have been rioting in the streets long before the election ever took place. Of course now what we really need is some good ole fashioned persecution to revive the hearts of the slumbering Christian.
