If ever we needed the Spirit of Christmas in our lives, it is now. No matter your political perspective, or even if you could care less about politics, both sides of the divide agree that this country, our home, is in a lot of trouble. People are afraid. For most, it's the first time they considered their mortality. People are frightened, whether it be the latest flu variant, or the ongoing political coup which is a danger to us all. The answer and remedy to all of this is what it has always been, return to our roots, return to God. The path to knowing Him is easier than you might think.
For instance, if you think of yourself as a logical person, start by using common sense. Common sense and logic walk hand and hand with truth. Common sense springs forth from logic. What is true is always logical, and what is logical is always true. God is logic, as logical orderly thinking is His way. The Lord's logic is always correct, He is never wrong.
So, maybe your fretting over the next flu bug, or perhaps you're more concerned that goose stepping Nazis are just around the corner, what do you do? Well, to quote an old bumper sticker, Jesus is the reason for the Season, is true. Afterall, it's His birthday we celebrate. How about giving Jesus a present? He is certainly due your consideration. God is real, He lives, He is the source of it all, without Him there is nothing. He is the Great I am, He is the Creator. If you care enough to do a little research and you should, you'll find over and over again that the living God exists, and that He is the answer to the question "why are we here". You have been trained your whole life that God and Science are mutually exclusive, they are not. PHD's in all the different sciences and disciplines, and more each day, come to believe in creation. Not only are God and science compatible, but one verifies the other. When you consider the intricacies of the human body, or the perfect order that the cosmos is, and how any deviation from that order would effect not only life on this planet, but how the celestial bodies keep from crashing into one another. There is no way those things are mere circumstance, such perfect order can only exist if made by intelligent design, a Creator. God is that creator.
Again, if you really want things to change for the better both long term and short, Pray. Humble yourself and pray that God save us from ourselves. America's foundation started by entering into a covenant with God the government rests on His shoulders, all of our founding documents are based on scripture, the words of God found in the Bible. If we are to save our nation, we must return to our roots, our foundation, we must return to God. All things are possible with God, it's perfectly logical, we must repent as a nation (go 180 degrees in the other direction), and pray the Lord forgive us and save us. Merry Christmas.
