Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a disgrace to any people. — Proverbs 14:34
Wow, what an indictment. When we vote our pocketbook more than character and when we excuse the indiscretions, infidelities, and illegalities in the leaders of both political parties, we have reached a very sad state indeed! But before we rant and rave about the sad state of morality in our public officials, let's make sure we're honest in our own daily lives — that we don't say cruel things about others, that we remain faithful to our marriages and our purity vows, and let's make sure that we expect of ourselves higher standards than we do of others.
Commands - Repent
Revelation 2:16
Repent, or else I will come to you quickly and will fight against them with the sword of My mouth.
Revelation 3:19
As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten. Therefore be zealous and repent.
Questions in 2 Kings
4:26
Please run now to meet her, and say to her, ‘Is it well with you? Is it well with your husband? Is it well with the child?’ ”
And she answered, “It is well.”
4:28
So she said, “Did I ask a son of my lord? Did I not say, ‘Do not deceive me’?”
4:43
But his servant said, “What? Shall I set this before one hundred men?”
He said again, “Give it to the people, that they may eat; for thus says the Lord: ‘They shall eat and have some left over.’ ”

. Thank God that those times which strain faith so hard come only occasionally in life. For the most part we travel a sunlit road, and when we are unaware of the love of God it is often because we have not looked for it. To see the evidence of God’s mercies you have only to look. - W. E. Sangster
