The king’s heart is a stream of water in the hand of the LORD; he turns it wherever he will. Proverbs 21:1.  I really don't understand what is happening in our country.  I think for several elections I have heard this is our last chance to turn things around. You could hear similar words from both sides. What it tells me is people are looking for a political solution to our problems. There is not a political solution. It does not seem to matter who is in charge, we seem to be going down hill. We are calling evil good and good evil. We have people attacking our police and think they are doing good. We have a group called Black Lives Matter and they destroy black businesses as well as others. They protest when a black man is shot by police in the performance of their duties. the man has been a lawbreaker and that is why he is being arrested in the first place, but they will destroy a policeman's life rather than listen to what really happened. A few blocks away an innocent black child is gunned down in a drive by shooting and no protest. There is no political solution for what is happening in our nation. Unless God moves the heart of our ruler we will see more of the same. There is a small segment of our population that seems to be getting things done in their favor at the expense of the safety of even our women and children. It doesn't make sense. Our nation is sick, our people are angry and we vote out of anger. On one side a lawbreaker is the front runner and it could very well be that she ends up serving time after she is elected. On the other side is a bully and seems to know what to say to stir up peoples anger and is the front runner on the Republican side in spite of being a life long Democrat. It doesn't make sense, how did he even get to be the front runner. He doesn't understand the Bible at all, don't even know if he read it. He called 2nd Corinthians / two Corinthians. We need God in our nation. God is the answer, he is the only answer. It will not matter who is elected if God moves.  I don't understand what is happening, but God does what God is going to do in spite of secular rulers. He may be allowing us to go through these times to turn our hearts back to him.  We need to pray for our country. There are Christians at my church that have their IPhone alarm set at 7:14 am and pm and all the sudden you will hear alarms going off at that time. It is a call to prayer for our nation. It references 2 Chronicles 7:14 that says: if my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land.  That is what our nation needs is Christians calling out to God on behalf of our country.  Franklin Graham is going around our country to each state capitol calling us to pray for our nation in his Decision America Tour.  We need to pray that God will heal our land. We need to repent and turn from our wicked ways.  God is the only answer for this nation. It will not happen in the political arena. Seek God and repent individually and nationally for our sins. That is the only way our land will be healed.  God bless, LVZ.
