Election
Season
The party conventions have
been now been gaveled to a close. The race and the political
rhetoric are about to take on new dimensions as we travel the road to
November. (That road is a WIDE road, I thought I should mention
that!)
I am finding value in
taking the back roads as much as possible. Those roads are narrow,
and strewn with frequent stops. The effort is greater since the way
is not always well signed. While moving slower on these narrow paths
there seems to be a friendlier collection of travelers. Folks who
will smile and wave as you drive by. Yesterday, a fellow actually
slowed down when he saw my turn-blinker so that I could move over.
You don't find that much, out there, on the Big WIDE Road.
The towns I drive through,
on the narrow highway, actually have a palpable pulse. Life lives
and flows right there in front of your eyes. The pace is just fast
enough to validate motion, while slow enough that one can appreciate
the beauty of the caring spirit and evidence of the hand of GOD.
It is remarkable how much
quieter it is, traveling the more difficult route. The TRUTH is
easily heard above the noise. Not hidden in the clatter of the
dollar, the Mighty God of the Interstate Highway.
We really need to pray and
pray hard and long that repentance will come to those who will be
selected, then elected, and finally anointed into leadership of this
gasping land of ours. Gasping because she has been sorely wounded by
the crass, the crude, the lewd and the vulgar. Our Lord is at the
door. The time is quickly drawing nigh.
Tell your story, tell it
often. Tell it to all who will hear. Tell them the TRUTH. Be a part
of the harvest not the chaff. Some will listen, most will not. Share
the WORD, then move on. They will either hear or they will not. The
rest is up to Jesus.
(Act
28:26-27) …..GO
TO THIS PEOPLE AND SAY, YOU WILL KEEP ON HEARING, BUT WILL NOT
UNDERSTAND; AND YOU WILL KEEP ON SEEING, BUT WILL NOT PERCEIVE; FOR
THE HEART OF THIS PEOPLE HAS BECOME DULL, AND WITH THEIR EARS THEY
SCARCELY HEAR, AND THEY HAVE CLOSED THEIR EYES; OTHERWISE THEY MIGHT
SEE WITH THEIR EYES, AND HEAR WITH THEIR EARS, AND UNDERSTAND WITH
THEIR HEART AND RETURN, AND I WOULD HEAL THEM.
Share the TRUTH, share the
LOVE. The clock is ticking!
