It is official, we are an Obama-nation unto the Lord. He asked us not to come to Him lukewarm, and as a nation we have not. He set before us life and death, and as a nation we have chosen.
But take courage, God is in control. Today's readings give me great comfort and hope.
Phil 2:12-18
.........
work out your salvation with fear and trembling.
For God is the one who, for his good purpose,
works in you both to desire and to work.
Do everything without grumbling or questioning,
that you may be blameless and innocent,
children of God without blemish
in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation,
among whom you shine like lights in the world,
as you hold on to the word of life,
..............
I rejoice and share my joy with all of you.
In the same way you also should rejoice and share your joy with me.
Ps 27:1, 4, 13-14
The Lord is my light and my salvation.
The LORD is my light and my salvation;
whom should I fear?
The LORD is my life’s refuge;
of whom should I be afraid?
.......
Wait for the LORD with courage;
be stouthearted, and wait for the LORD.
R. The Lord is my light and my salvation.

Then remember Romans 13: 1-7
Let every person be subordinate to the higher authorities, for there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been established by God.
............................
Therefore, it is necessary to be subject not only because of the wrath but also because of conscience.
This is why you also pay taxes, for the authorities are ministers of God, devoting themselves to this very thing.
Pay to all their dues, taxes to whom taxes are due, toll to whom toll is due, respect to whom respect is due, honor to whom honor is due.
Owe nothing to anyone, except to love one another; for the one who loves another has fulfilled the law.
My Prayer Today
Prayer to End Abortion
Lord God, I thank you today for the gift of my life,
And for the lives of all my brothers and sisters.
I know there is nothing that destroys more life than abortion,
Yet I rejoice that you have conquered death
by the Resurrection of Your Son.
I am ready to do my part in ending abortion.
Today I commit myself
Never to be silent,
Never to be passive,
Never to be forgetful of the unborn.
I commit myself to be active in the pro-life movement,
And never to stop defending life
Until all my brothers and sisters are protected,
And our nation once again becomes
A nation with liberty and justice
Not just for some, but for all,
Through Christ our Lord. Amen!
