Inauguration

Don't you think it is remarkable that this nation has maintained such a great system of leadership for over 230 years? The amazing thing about the inauguration is that demonstrates a peaceful transfer of power. We each have strong opinions about the issues in our society. I have my own beliefs, (which I do not want to voice in this posting), about this particular presidential change. Yet, we do not allow our differences to interfere with the due course!

We are a peaceful nation. We are a nation rooted in the notions of care, service, protection, and rights. The USA was founded on such beliefs, backing them up with Scripture and with unwavering faith. We have maintained it, and for that we can be proud!

There is another issue inside of all of this, however. It is the issue of the individual, and his/her ability to hear and make decisions based upon a world view that does not waver or contradict itself. If this nation's government has kept to it's precepts, then why not the individual, and the the governing of the soul? It is an apathetic system of thought that leads a person to believe that whatever they feel must be truth. Truth itself, then, changes with the emotions of the individual, with no standard from which to voice itself. Without truth, how can there be care, service, protection? Who would define it? Would it be the one with the greatest need? Who would determine that? There has to be a reference point, and the founders of this great found it! It was the Word of God. The unchanging Word!

Maybe you do not agree with this. Well, many have not and do not, but yet, the Word has not changed. It is old news to disagree with God. It is older news, however, that God prevails!

I think inauguration day would be a good day to swear, in faith, that you will follow Truth and Righteousness in your life. Join the fanfare that is going on today, but apply it to your heart that you will seek for truth, not opinion, in the remainder of your walk on earth. If you commit to that, God will show you Truth.

I promise
