​Scripture of the Week:
​
Psalm 63 

A Psalm of David, when he was in the Wilderness of Judah.
God, You are my God;
I search for You,
my soul thirsts for You,
my body yearns for You,
as a parched and thirsty land that has no water.
I shall behold You in the sanctuary,
and see Your might and glory,
Truly Your faithfulness is better than life;
my lips declare Your praise.
I bless You all my life;
I lift up my hands, invoking Your name.
I am sated as with a rich feast,
I sing praises with joyful lips
when I call You to mind upon my bed,
when I think of You in the watches of the night;
for You are my help,
and in the shadow of Your wings
I shout for joy.
My soul is attached to You;
Your right hand supports me.
May those who seek to destroy my life
enter the depths of the earth.
May they be gutted by the sword;
may they be prey to jackals.
But the king shall rejoice in God;
all who swear by Him shall exult,
when the mouth of liars is stopped.

Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
​         I try to abstain from politics on this blog nor is this an endorsement for either candidate, but as we enter the election season I must remise on some facts. God places people in certain authorities to complete His plan. I recently read some comments where Christians were not being very nice to the nominees  due to their lack of certain Christian values and such.  I am here to remind you that God used Pharaohs to either punish Israel or to set an example for them. God hardened the Pharaoh's heart when it came to releasing the Hebrews from slavery. This tested Moses and Aaron on their faith and belief as well as gave all of them a show of the Almighty Power of God in His control over nature. He used the Philistines, the Amorites, and many others to punish or remind them who is in charge. Have we forgotten King Cyrus, whom God used to restore Israel. Cyrus also used his treasury to kick start them back into life.  
​        I need everyone to think for a moment... Here are our two choices in candidates. One is a known liar who is greedy and obviously has money for an idol using it to usurp power and is basically in hot water right now. The other has very little political experience but has an understanding on what this country was founded upon and wants to get the country back on track even though his morals and ethics have not been very Christian like, he seems to really and truly want what is best for the health, welfare, and moral of our country. One speaks eloquently while the other not so much. Remember who speaks with a silver tongue while the other speaks plain truths.
​     Yes both have seen the courtroom, but one being a lawyer actually ensured a known sexual offender and others who were obviously guilty, freedom from punishment. The other, well not the cleanest record either, but his time in court was judicially sound (money did not help his cases) and reparations were made and he admits his wrongdoings.    
      Which one sounds better now?? One whose idol is money and power or one who wants his investments in the homeland (us) to be safe from tyranny. One who willingly invites evil into the land or one who expresses the right and legal way to live in this country. One who has been silent on condolences for the recent brutalities or one who has shown compassion and is willing to take action. One who willingly give up rights to conglomerates while in office (the right thing to do) while the other will assuredly feed off the family foundation.   

​Think about it...........
