POLITICAL SALT

Adding spiritual salt to the meat of politics... in the pursuit of good government.

 

"Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned, as it were, with salt,
so that you may know how you should respond to each person."

- Colossians 4:6

This "voice in the desert" is born out of a heart to see Arizona and our nation return to God. Along with friends who join with me to contribute experience and insight in the pursuit of good government, we will address many of the difficult political issues of the day. Through November 7, this will also serve as a blog for "SIEGE I" and "SIEGE II" times of prayer and fasting for good government, restoration and revival for our state and nation.

What Concerns Me

SIEGE 2, DAY 23: We are completing the first week of the 21-day STRIKE of prayer and fasting, more than half way through the second 40-day "Siege" culminating with the General Elections. It never ceases to amaze me how vast the reservoir of God's word is in its application to every circumstance big or small. As we continue to dedicate ourselves to prayer, His word is shown and known to be living every day. Although several passages gave life to us today, Psalm 138:7-8 particularly stands out: "Though I walk in the midst of trouble, You will revive me; You will stretch forth Your hand against the wrath of my enemies, and Your right hand will save me. The Lord will accomplish what concerns me; Your lovingkindness, O Lord, is everlasting; do not forsake the works of You hands."

"The Lord will accomplish WHAT CONCERNS ME!" The word for accomplish in that verse is to perfect, complete, finish, perform... Well, good government in Arizona concerns me (along with some other personal things). Therefore, I wait on the Lord to perfect, complete, finish, perform this wondrous transformation of our state.
