Disclaimer: This is MY blog so I don't expect any flack over MY opinion. (I can hardly believe I'm blogging about this, but it isn't all about politics)
I am going to start this by stating the obvious, I am not a political person AT ALL!!! However, this whole government shut down thing has certainly got my political gears a crankin' (just a little). I didn't even know anything about it even being a possibility until yesterday evening around 5:00. After I heard about it I Google it and yep, sure enough, there it was all over the place! I climbed out from under my rock and researched a little more. I have to say I do find this just a bit ridiculous. I mean come on, I thought all those people were grown adults, life is FULL of give and take. Obama and all of the government people (see I really don't know what to call them, that's how in to politics I am) need to quit acting like spoiled bratty 2 year olds, get over themselves and figure out someway to compromise!! After all that is what life is, right?
Since I heard about all this I had just about worried myself sick. I started praying and just talking to God about it and He spoke to me and just kinda opened my eyes. Not to anything profound or earth shattering or anything I didn't know before, but that He had this! He sees what's going on, he sees our worry and concern. Folks, like Bro. Tim says, this thing (life here on Earth) is winding down and we're about to leave out of here. PRAISE GOD!!! I can't even begin to imagine how people who don't know the Lord can face today's world with any peace at all. For the last couple of weeks I have had a huge burden for certain people. I don't know their hearts or where they stand with God. All I can see are the fruits they bare.
Matthew 7:15-20
15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.
18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.
I'm not saying these people are necessarily evil, but just being a good person won't get ya to Heaven!!!
I am so thankful that I serve a God who is omnipotent and who loves us more than we could ever imagine. A God who daily showers us with his mercy and grace. A God whose got the whole world in his hands...
If you read this and have any question what so ever about your salvation, call me, text me, FaceBook me, come to my house, whatever you have to do GET ME!! I may not have all the answers but by golly I know I can find someone who can.
