Fix your attention on God. You'll be changed from the inside out. Romans 12:2 MSG
Real change is an inside job. You might alter things a day or two with money or systems, but the heart of the matter is and always will be, the matter of the heart.
Allow me to get specific. Our problem is sin. Not finances. Not budgets...Our problem is sin. We are in rebellion against our Creator. we are separated from our Father. We are cut off from the source of life. A new president [congress] or policy won't fix that. It can only be solved by God.
That's why the Bible uses drastic terms like conversion, repentance, and lost and found. Society may renovate, but only God re-creates. ~ Max Lucado When God Whispers Your Name [brackets mine]
It seems appropriate to be reminded that it is God who makes real lasting change bringing the dead back to life, restoring hope to the hopeless and giving sight to the blind. Let's pray for God to do just that in our nation, state, county, work place, home and in ourselves today.
