OUR ARMED GUARD

” HIS FAITHFUL PROMISES ARE YOUR ARMOR AND PROTECTION.” PSALM 91:4

Violence in our great nation has become a norm rather than an exception. The children in our schools as well as those of us who merely walk down the aisles of Walmart are open to the relentless evil that lurks at every turn. It is an absolute terrible day when a child cannot go to school and be safe in doing so. I was an elementary school teacher for 5 years and yesterday’s massacre of 18 people in an elementary school in Texas hits me close to home. Our children are carefree with the faith in us as adults to protect them. This country made a decision many years ago to take God out of our schools. When we did that, we left our children open for things to happen just as it happened yesterday. I hear all of the talking heads on the news talking about gun control and armed guards at our schools, but I hear nothing about what has happened to our society since we as a country have withdrawn from our God in heaven. There is a greater push today, than ever before, for us to walk away from our God. Psalm 91:4 makes it very clear that it is the promises of God that are our armor and protection. We must believe in him. We must begin to put him back into our lives, our schools, our business, our government and even our churches. It is time to begin to realize what the real problem is. We, as a country, have turned our backs on God. We follow our own hearts and do what we think is right. We have turned away from the Christian principles by which this country was founded. We have decided to be like the rest of the world and allow our government to run our lives. You and I need to bow down before our God on this day and ask his forgiveness. We need to truly pray for our country, our schools, our children and our leaders. We have no choice. The Lord is the only way out of this mess we have created. We still live in a time of Grace. We need to take advantage of that and ask our God in heaven for mercy upon this great country before we lose it forever. PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS.
