Unless The Lord

Unless the Lord builds a house, 

the work of the builders is wasted.

Unless the Lord protects a city, 

guarding it with sentries will do no good.

Psalm 127:1

It doesn't matter how much planning goes into our building.  We can hire the best builders to produce our dream home.  But unless God is at the center it will be a waste.  The same goes for our family and anything else we hold dear to us.  God must be at the center for us to find peace, joy and success.  As we experience so many people worrying about our country, it saddens me to see that we are leaving one important factor out.  We are putting all our trust in a person or political group instead of our God.  Unless we invite God to protect our nation guarding it with the right people will do us no good.  We can find the most talented troops, the most educated polititians and the best candidates but without God it is all a waste.  A country without God will surely crumble!  Unfortuately so many think a country without Hillary Clinton will crumble.  We have it all wrong and so our fear should not be in who our next president is but in what will happen if we don't turn from our sinfulness and ask God to be at the center of our lives.  And so we pray for Donald Trump!  That he seeks guidance and wisdom from God.  That he has advisors who believe that Jesus Christ is Lord and Savior.  We pray that our nation's leaders place God at the center of their lives and at the center of this country!  We place God at the center of our own lives and we seek a personal relationship with Jesus.  The only answer to a safe nation is God.  AND we do all this while loving our neighbors and those who do not think like we do.
