2008
A look back - A look forward
Well December is quickly coming to a close as will another year. As I look back on 2008 I remember it was filled with many issues facing the American people. Record high gas prices, a historic Presidential election, a year of recession, and general unrest.
A look back - A look forward
Well December is quickly coming to a close as will another year. As I look back on 2008 I remember it was filled with many issues facing the American people. Record high gas prices, a historic Presidential election, a year of recession, and general unrest.
Although I do not agree with the politics that Obama stands for I do feel that he is in power by the hand of God. God is still in control and a plan is in motion. At times we may not understand it all but we must remember that God will raise up and tear down whom he wills.
People have asked me why then would God raise up a man with such anti Christian values as Obama to lead what is supposed to be a Christian nation. The answer is twofold and fairly simple. First, America is a long way from being a Christian nation, and second, God will raise up the men in power that will full fill the prophesy of Revelations. One last comment on this topic, yes God is in control. However, he gives men and women free will to choose their values, remember that Obama won by a majority vote of the people. So that means that a majority of Americans are not voting Christian values, thus America is no longer a Christian nation..
Now as you look back over 2008 in your own life ask yourself if you have done all you could have for God, your family, your relationships, etc. If you have regrets then look forward to 2009 and make the decision now to improve in those areas.
Put God first in your life followed by your spouse (if you have one), then your family and thirdly your job. Getting these three out of order, as I have done at times in my life, will cause great turmoil and chaos. If you find that you have done that, stop and revaluate the situation and make the proper changes.
Set new goals for 2009 and have a written plan for achieving them and reward yourself for achieving the steps on your plan. As an old saying goes “ If you fail to plan, you plan to fail”. This is so true in life.
Most of all remember that God loves you, and share that Love with others. As the Bible says, the greats among these is Love.
It is my prayer to all who reads this that you enjoy a prosperous and joy filled 2009. May God bless you richly in all that you do…
