Scripture Hosea 4:2 By swearing and lying,
\nKilling and stealing and committing adultery,
\nThey break all restraint,
\nWith bloodshed upon bloodshed. <\/p>\n
Observation: This sounds like our nation now. We have drawn so far away from God and have become a godless nation. We\u2019ve taken God out of our schools and government and have closed His churches. We don\u2019t keep his commands and continue to sin to a point that it becomes accepted. Unless we turn from our wicked ways and bring God back into our country we are going to suffer the consequences. <\/p>\n
Application: God has called us each to a purpose. He has called me to be available to others with prayer and laughter. It feels wonderful to be able to make others laugh even with a corny joke, but to see the smile on someone\u2019s face is precious not only to me but to my Lord. May I not take this gift for granted, but use it knowing that God gave it to me to give to others.<\/p>\n
Prayer My Lord in the past I always wanted to be someone else, but now I see your purpose in my life and I thank you for making me, me. May I continue each day to be the best I can be to glorify You.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
