Do Not Worry About Tomorrow
Business is slow. People are getting laid off. Stocks continue to drop, and if reports are accurate, taxes are going up.
It makes for a very troubling atmosphere. And yet, as followers of Jesus, we are commanded to "seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you."
Could this season of economic hardship be an opportunity for the advancing of His kingdom like no other? I believe it is.
First of all, it is causing me to face the strongholds of fear in my own heart. Romans 14:23 in The Message says, "...If the way you live isn't consistent with what you believe, then it's wrong." Ouch! I say I trust God, but there is so much fear vying for my allegiance.
So here I am sorting through my inconsistencies, and asking God to help me be free from fear. That will advance His kingdom in my heart.
Constitution State Challenge
Every time you see a CT licence plate with the inscription
CONSTITUTION STATE
pray for the protection of the most valuable document in the world, the United States Constitution.
Without apology, this divinely inspired governmental directive is without equal in human history. But in our generation, paralleled by no other, there are attempts to supercede its authority and redefine its intention.
Join with me in this:
Thank God for the grace He bestowed on our founding fathers.
Thank Him for His wisdom that guided their decisions.
Thank Him for the fear of the Lord that taught them.
Pray for His continued grace and wisdom and the fear of the Lord to cover our local, state and national leaders, legislators, and judiciary.

"...if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my
face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land." 2Chron. 7:14
