Below are a few thoughts that we pray would encourage and stir your heart to deeper level of pursuing God first and His purpose for our nations. (It's a bit long so... more thoughts in later posts).
I pray that all is well as we seek to cooperate with the Trinity and see the dreams of God become a reality in our Nation. Knowing that our King is the rightful ruler of all the universe and that He is the final authority brings strength to our hearts as we fight to secure the reality of His rulership in this world. May I encourage us that when we walk in obedience to Him it is not only a 'good thing' or a 'wise thing' we are simply living within our created design. This results in a life of peace and fulfillment in Him, having a loving relationship with Him and one another. God has a plan for our Nation and his heart longs to see man live their life in holiness and truth. Only then can we live up to our true value as beings created in his own image. Our purpose is to be in an intimate loving, internal relationship with God. ('Internal' meaning that God is not impressed with our external action if it is not flowing from a heart of intimacy and truth). So we lean forward in doing physical works with the motivation to bring joy to his heart and to advance his kingdom.
But history has shown us how easy it is for us to get carried away in just work and going through the motions. We seem to end up trying to relate to God by our physical actions or external endeavors. No one is exempt from this, that is why I believe Paul encouraged us to examine ourself to see wheather or not we remain in the faith. Keeping our priority of seeking His face and hearing His voice is so essential for kingdom advancement.
I share this so we can see how great of a responsibility we carry to see the next Generation discipled and our Nations transformed. Some things for us to keep in mind...
Finding Joy in Every Step
