There is so much discord around us. Transgender bathroom issues. LGBT. ISIS attacks. Concerns of Islam. Election woes. As a result, there are many many worried, anxious, concerned people.
I'd lie if I said I have no concerns or worries. I have two small boys. However, seeing the distraught nature of people, many of which are born again Christians, believers in Jesus Christ, my concern often flows in a different direction. The attention of so many seems to lead towards fixing the establishment government and working to construct laws to curb evil. Allow me to be clear: I believe these are good things. And I applaud those believers who work in such a capacity to see them happen. But, hear is the direction of my concern...
Many good, well intentioned, Bible believing, born again Christians have their focus on attempting to "fix" what can never be fixed. Never by this particular means at which they attempt. And in the result may not be spending time and energy pouring into what I believe, correction, what I know is the only real "fix". Evil man will always be evil without the saving sacrifice of Jesus Christ. There is only ONE way in which evil will be curbed. Salvation in Jesus Christ.
It is only in God whom I place my trust. He is my hope. My only hope.
He alone is my Rock and my Salvation. He is my Fortress. I will never be shaken. My salvation and honor depend on God. He is my mighty Rock, my Refuge. So, trust in Him at ALL times, people! Pour out your hearts to Him. For God is our Refuge. (Psalm 62:6-8)
We carry HIS name. That is the only hope for us. And for the world at discord around us. And rest assured... My God will finish what he began in Jesus Christ. The world will come to salvation or be reckoned with my Almighty God. But I am not the Reckoner. I am the carrier of HIS name. That is my mission. It's the only mission he gave all of us who call on Jesus Christ. In Him alone I will trust.
worship Him 24/7...

lyrics for In God We Trust
Overwhelmed but I won’t break
Through the battle I will say
Your grace will be enough
Your grace will be enough
Under fire but we won’t fall
We will never be alone
You’ll always be enough
You’ll always be enough
Now in God we trust
In His Name we hope
I know God will not be shaken
God is here with us
He’s already won
I know God will not be shaken
We will follow where You go
We will trust through the unknown
I know You go before
I know You go before
Lead my heart now in Your ways
For we’re carrying Your Name
Your promise never fails
Your promise never fails
You finish what You begun
Forever strong in Your love
Your Name is sure
And You will fight for us
Our hope forever secure
In You alone
Overwhelmed but I won’t break
Through the battle I will say
Your grace will be enough
Your grace will be enough
Under fire but we won’t fall
We will never be alone
You’ll always be enough
You’ll always be enough
Now in God we trust
In His Name we hope
I know God will not be shaken
God is here with us
He’s already won
I know God will not be shaken
We will follow where You go
We will trust through the unknown
I know You go before
I know You go before
Lead my heart now in Your ways
For we’re carrying Your Name
Your promise never fails
Your promise never fails
You finish what You begun
Forever strong in Your love
Your Name is sure
And You will fight for us
Our hope forever secure
In You alone
