change

I am with Ronnie Floyd on his thoughts today…

Change is the buzzword on all political fronts this year.

With the Presidency at stake, change is the word both major candidates are using continually.

Matters like “real change” are being debated as well as who will provide “the needed changes.” With the challenges that have faced our nation the past few years, as well as recently, change seems to be catching the attention of the American people.

Please understand, I would like to see many things change, and have for years. I have often wondered what it must be like for a sitting President to listen to those on the campaign trail as they seek after his job. I would imagine he hears them say things he said, and thinks to himself, “Once you get this job, change just does not come easy.”

The kind of change we need in this nation today is the kind that only God can bring. In this polarized political environment, only God can bring two opposing sides together. Only God is the one who can provide real change. Does He want America to change? I am pretty convinced He does. Yet that change is there awaiting us.

Therefore, we must pray for change. We cannot determine who the next world leader will be, but we can determine to pray. We need to pray for our nation. We need to pray for this election. Yes, involvement is good because influence is possible, but prayer is even better. Another way to say it, when you are involved in the processes, also pray.

May God continue to change us, then true change becomes more than a buzzword. It becomes a reality.
