I wonder what would happen if they were… never mind we already know the answer to my rhetorical question. Our society and nation is in deep trouble because of our cultural and political views.

Psalm 9:13-20
Proverbs 3:1-6
Know: “Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.”
What God wants with us and for us is relationship.
Like a son is dependent on his father to teach him, help him, provide for him, protect him, and show him love, that is the model for our relationship with the Lord. All of that is on offer, but God won’t transgress our free will.
Relationships are built on invitations and we must surrender in order to receive God’s involvement in our lives. Like a child who rejects his father, we too would be even more foolish to do so with God. He will do everything for us if we will just let Him.
The promise is that Jesus will bring us into heaven, and that heaven will start to break through in our lives. You see this in the life of Jesus, where everywhere he goes, he brings healing and restoration. That is on offer for the one who trusts, acknowledges, and leans on Him.
Be: Jesus dependent, not independent. Be Jesus reliant, not self-reliant.
Do: When I feel my heart straying, which it is prone to do, stop immediately and get back into the true story of reality.
