"WHO GOD IS!"

LORD, I want to beg forgiveness for too many times in my past following what a candidate or a political party said they believed in, while ignoring what YOUR WORD instructed me to do.  Far too many times people who "claim" to be Believers in The WAY (Acts 9:2) listen to what someone else Believes and agree or disagree with the person.  Why don't we agree or disagree with THE WORD and let people either agree or disagree with us/it?   If a person doesn't line up with the WORD OF GOD, do we REALLY want them leading us negotiating with the rest of the world?

Might it be we have relegated our choices to those "we think" have been successful in either politics or the business world and not considered who GOD has chosen to LEAD our nation?  Sure, I understand GOD is sovereign and HE can change hearts, but I also read in 1 Samuel 8:19-22 "19 But the people refused to obey the voice of Samuel. And they said, "No! But there shall be a king over us,
20 that we also may be like all the nations, and that our king may judge us and go out before us and fight our battles."
21 And when Samuel had heard all the words of the people, he repeated them in the ears of the LORD.
22 And the LORD said to Samuel, "Obey their (the people's) voice and make them a king." Samuel then said to the men of Israel, "Go every man to his city."

The children of Israel decided they knew better than GOD about their leadership, and so GOD decided to grant their wishes and desires.  Samuel prophesied that a King would be disastrous (1 Samuel 8:10-18) for the children of Israel, but they wouldn't listen to Samuel (OR GOD) and so GOD let them have what they wanted!

Has GOD decided to give America what she wants?  Has GOD "gave them over to a REPROBATE mind, to do those things which are not convenient; Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, backbiters, haters of GOD, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:
Who knowing the judgment of GOD, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them." (Romans 1:28-32 KJV)

As I have reported FAR too many times, the HOLY BIBLE is NOT just a book of fables and myths.  Unless we return to reading the BIBLE with a reverence respect once accorded to GOD's WORD we could miss a lot of the blessings that HE has prepared for us.  OUR CREATOR has given as an instruction manual on how to operate out lives.  When will we come to the realization that HE only has our best interest in HIS PLAN for us?  Our plans will NEVER be as complete and fulfilling as HIS.  TRUSTING in HIM is what we should do.  

Recognizing who we are, AND MOST OF ALL "WHO GOD IS", will be the first step toward getting back to HIS PLAN!
