WILL WE GO DOWN THE WRONG ROAD AGAIN -- Just A Minute Radio.blogspot.com120904

Monday was a rather rugged day with things that didn’t go right and some involving deeper difficulties.

Today is an indication there is going to be difficulties in the air so we’ll just take it as it comes and commit it to the Lord. I’m hoping the convention will go reasonably smoothly… but that’s up to the Lord. It just depends on what He’s trying to show us in these tumultuous times. ‘

I *know* it will come out all correctly because HE is in control of *everything*. I really don’t doubt that for a second. The difficulties are because we –as the Apostle Paul says in I Corinthians 13 – “We see through the glass (probably a mirror) darkly…(indistinctly) …” We – as God’s children are objects of HIS love, and HE will at the proper and opportune time, will reveal to us just what it is (or was) He is teaching us or providing for us so we shall know even as we are known by HIM. So it’s just our job to keep our attention fixed on HIM and HIS love.

Well, that all sounds strange to those who are not ‘in the fold’ so to speak. Jesus says: “My sheep hear my voice and are known of me.” So things are going to come out all right we need not worry. He IS Lord!

Time to turn in the witching hour is past -- time for rest.

God bless you and yours and keep you safe.

IN HIM

“JUST A MINUTE”

WILL WE GO DOWN THE WRONG ROAD AGAIN?

Just a Minute: British historian Paul Johnson describes a significant turning-point in American history in his best-selling book, "Modern Times."

Until the 1960’s, he writes in a chapter called “America’s Suicide Attempt” – public finance had been run along conventional lines – budgets essentially in balance except in exceptional circumstances. The big change came under Kennedy when the Administration began creating budget deficits even when there was no emergency.

Big government you see had become the ‘problem eliminator’. Almost thirty years ago, “Modern Times” introduced that possibility of Trillion-dollar deficits. Today they surpass 16 Trillion. Is Mr. Johnson worried about America’s future?

“Of course I worry about America”-- he says, “The whole world depends on America ultimately, particularly Britain. And also, I love America—a marvelous country. But in a sense I don't worry about America because I think America has such huge strengths -- particularly its freedom of thought and expression -- that it's going to survive as a top nation for the foreseeable future. And therefore take care of the world."

Let us pray Mr. Johnson is correct <> I’m Jack Buttram. (END)
