Happy Inauguration Day!

On By vickleaIn Admonition, prayer, Quotation and Citations, Scripture1 Comment

My prayer is for the healing of our nation as we turn back to God. We need to look forward and not back, forgiving as the Lord forgave, and pray for our new leaders. The new President may not be the one you wanted in office, but he is the one that God allowed to be there, so the commandment is to pray for those who lead us. It doesn’t say to pray for those you like and agree with…pray for the leaders.

I spent the last four years praying for President Biden even though he was not my choice. I believe God had a purpose in allowing him to be in office. And since I don’t have God’s mind, I cannot tell you what that was. But I prayed, sometimes begrudgingly and sometimes half-heartedly, but I prayed.

Today is a new day and a new administration. I hope that you will join me in praying for President Trump and his family, for Vice President Vance and his family. May all they do be for the good of the nation and the people that God loves.

What Does Justice Look Like?

On By vickleaIn Dr. Denison’s Forum, Scripture4 Comments

I don’t want to spend time on politics, but I do want to encourage those of us who are dismayed, perhaps even outraged, by the vagaries of our current justice system. I think Denison’s article says it best, so I am sharing it here with you.

Former president Donald Trump declared guilty

I also want to share with you the Scriptures that God gave me to calm my weary soul.

Don’t assume that you know what justice looks like in this case. Let God be the final Judge.

The U.S. has been ripe for reaping God’s wrath for a while now. The immorality of our nation is apparent and the turning away from God is obvious to those with our eyes open. I am not a prophet, but the prophets in the Old Testament got it right when they prophesied against Israel and the coming exile and destruction of their nation. Perhaps this is a warning bell tolling for the U.S. Maybe not…but it surely appears ominous to me. Presidential elections carry consequences as we have seen. Pray before you go to the polls. Make sure you let your voice be heard at the ballot box…don’t be silenced by the vocal majority! There may be three Supreme Court justices up for nomination in the next election cycle. What kind of justice system do you want? A kangaroo court persecuting political opponents or real justice that is equal for all?

Using the justice system against your political opponents is not something that should happen anywhere in the world, but it has been happening for ages in communist and socialist nations that don’t allow opposition. This conviction is opening a door that may not ever be able to be closed, and I am watching for God’s hand in bringing the justice to our nation, not to President Trump, but to an entire nation that is determined to go its own way, without regard to God’s law and His hand that has been on our nation since its founding. Read Denison’s article again…and pray!
