I am checking in with you again this morning with my YouVersion devotion selection for today. It is really good and I think you will like it. You might even find it helpful as you interact with people who deny our faithful and glorious GOD.

Blessings to you Dear Friends    +++

Remember YOU have the God-given RIGHT to do right in this wrong world!

WHERE IS THE MUSIC?

A cynical French astronomer once bragged to J.W. Hawley, “I have swept the universe with my telescope, and I find no God.” To this, Hawley simply replied, “That is as unreasonable as for me to say I have taken my violin apart, have examined each piece, and I find no music.” Hawley’s words were wise and silenced the skeptic. Most of the time, we have to notice the subtle causes and effects of life to see God. However, there are times when He makes His presence known most dramatically.

Elijah had spent his life trying to convince a straying nation to come back to the one true God. Now it was time for a showdown. Gathered on Mount Carmel, the helpless prophets of Baal danced and chanted all day for a display from their god. After they exhausted their resources, Elijah told them to step aside. In his brief prayer, Elijah called on God to show Himself as the true God. God did so, and revival broke out (1 Kings 18:20-39).

In our day, God is again displaying His power in the world. These are times of great revival, and we are seeing dramatic miracles in ministry. Pray with us today that God will continue to move that men may know. Let it be known this day that You are God in Israel.

The devotion from my Reading Plan was too good to not share with you today.

NAIL HOLES

Seeking to make the consequences of careless living clear to his son, a father told him to drive a nail into the post every time he did something wrong. Then each time the boy did a kindly act, he was told to pull out a nail. The son did as instructed but soon found that although he could pull out the nail, he could do nothing about the nail hole. One might change his ways, but the scars of sin remain.

David blatantly disobeyed God by “numbering Israel.” The issue was not whether it was right or wrong to conduct the census. Rather, the issue was one of obedience. God had said “No,” but David insisted on his own way. One iron law of life is that evil will be punished, and David’s sin was no exception. Judgment came, and David was given alternatives for punishment. Of the choices given, David decided to take his chances with God rather than the cruelty of man (2 Samuel 24:10-14). It was a wise decision.

Two important lessons come from this major Bible prayer. First of all, we can never get away with evil. We will always suffer with the scars of sin. But, second, we also can rely on the mercies of God to restore us, if we come in full confession and sincerely seek His help. How much better it is if we obey in the first place.

Emphasis above is mine.

I went visiting in Blog-land this morning. Stopped in to sit a spell with my friend, Leah at The Point. She encouraged me to pop over to Max Lucado’s election site and see what he had to say. So I did. And while I was there I signed the pledge to pray for America specifically for the next 40 days. You can join too.

And while visiting with Max the HOLY SPIRIT had something to say to me. And when I tell you perhaps a light bulb will come on for you too.

”…if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.” (2 Chronicles 7:14)

What does that say?
Does it say if the proprietors of the strip joints on Bourbon Street will humble themselves, pray, seek GOD’s FACE, and turn from their wicked ways GOD will heal this land?
Does it say if the homosexuals will?
Does it say if the abortion mill directors will?
Does it say if the inmates will?
Does it say if the politicians will?
Does it say if ‘Hollywood’ will?
Does it say if Obama will?
Does it say if the good ole boys (and girls) will?
Does it even say getting Obama and all his cohorts out of office will heal our land? (Don’t misunderstand. I want him and them out of office more than any persons ever before them!  BUT!)

NO!
No, it doesn’t!
So if you like me have been prone to think if all those listed above would just repent and turn to GOD, He would save America. Think again!

Now I am not saying a move of repentance in the above groups would not bring a wave of glory over this Nation. It would! And I’d be jubilant beyond myself to see it!!

But it is not up to them to save America!

It is up to us! 

ABBA said IF MY PEOPLE.

And who are ABBA’s people?

If you are His you know who you are.

So what’s it going to be, Sister – Brother?

”…if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.” (2 Chronicles 7:14)

If the Lampstand of America is removed; if America falls; if America is not healed — whose fault will it be?  Who will DADDY GOD hold accountable?

ABBA, thank You. Search my heart and reveal every wicked way in me, and by Your Power and Might it will be removed! ABBA, I want this land to be healed. I do not want to be a stumbling-block to that healing. Forgive me for pointing fingers. Forgive me for my own blindness. Do what only You can do in me I pray for JESUS sake. I pray for my sisters and my brothers to pray, to repent and see You heal this Land.
