Well, everyone's feeling better at the house today. Kaden is through the worst of the cold. Unfortunately, Tim has it now. Kaeleigh has managed to stay germ free, I will chalk that up to her being breastfed for 6 1/2 months! I'm trying to get all the last minute stuff for Saving Little Hearts of SC's first meeting tomorrow. Go to http://savinglittlehearts.com/southcarolina.php for more info on what we do! I can tell that story another day, for today, here's my devotion:
How fitting as we come upon Veteran's Day that God should put a verse regarding the state of a nation. Isaiah Chapter 1 talks of the decay of their nation. Funny how this describes the U.S.A. today. What a tragedy that our nation was built on prayer, the word of God, and christian values, and today, we have all but thrown God away. I know this will be controversial, but doesn't anyone seem to think that 9/11 was a wake up call from God to turn our hearts back towards him and rid ourselves of our ungodly ways. For centuries, men and women have given their lives to help us remain a free country. How free are we though? Greed, hatred, anger, murder, drugs.... These things are happening because we as a society have become "too smart" for God, too rich, too advanced, and dare I say, too politically correct. To truly be free, we must return to God our Father, ask for his forgiveness and walk in his light.
Lord, in this world of chaos, help me to be a light for you and a testament to true freedom. Help me to teach my children that you are the only source of goodness, and to remain steadfast in their faith. Thank you Lord for all your many blessings in my life. In Jesus Name, Amen.
