Changes......MMMMMMM, this past year our nation elected a new president on the premise that we wanted change. I was thinking on that a bit here lately and I question the validity of that statement. Do we really want change? I, personally do not believe we do! If we do, what change are we really looking for and is that really change?
As far as our nation goes (which by the way is us) we have elected our president on the basis that he is going to bring change to our nation. But as I examine headlines and newshows week after week all we really hear is that we want more, more and more. We are asking our president and his cabinet to come to our rescue with more money, more jobs and more give aways.
Let me just pose this question, what have we done with what we already have received? Have we invested wisely, purchased carefully and planned beyond the immediacy of today? The answer in many lives and homes is no! My precious friend, the answer to our plight does not lie in Washington with all of their good intentions but in your's and my heart. We must be the one to change. It must first begin with us.
God's word has taught us to be content with such things as we have. We have refused to live at or below our means, so in our thirst for more and more we have borrowed and spent our way into this crisis. We can't control necessarily what Washington does but we can change what we do.
That is where change must begin. The first order of business is to admit WE need to change! The bible says that we do not come to the light because our actions are not right, our hearts are not right. We must face our own heart and determine today to make changes that will help us, our marriages, our families and ultimately our nation.
Well, is it time for a change for you? Today is a good day to start. Don't worry what others think, say or do. This change is for you! Follow God's plan for it! Proverbs 3:5-6
You'll be glad you did!
Blessings. Bruce
