It never seems to stop. Every time an election peeks around the corner, people turn into animals. You hear lies, accusations, judging, and gossip everywhere you go. It gets very tiring. We blame everyone else for the problems we face as a nation when in reality, it is our own fault.
I've heard people blame Clinton, Bush and now Obama for every single problem we have. And I'm not saying some of the problems we face aren't from presidents throughout history. I'm simply saying we don't take any blame ourselves for the problems we have let get so far. This has nothing to do with where our votes go, I'm talking about who we place as our nations "savior". I've seen signs and posters everywhere saying "_____ is our only hope" or "the only one who can save our nation is _____". Since when has it been a good idea to cause/make problems and hire someone else to fix them? "You reap what you sow", remember hearing that before? Don't misinterpret what I'm saying; having a president is a good thing, but putting him above God or in God's place is never acceptable. THAT is the reason our nation is in trouble. The fact that, over the years, people who don't know what they're doing have gotten put in the Whitehouse is because we no longer have convictions and go for anyone who has a good speech. Everyone wants "freedom to choose" when, the only way we will ever have freedom is through God. The government cannot give it to us, the president cannot give it to us...they are only human and will make mistakes. That's normally when we go to God to fix the issues. Just like the Israelites disobeying God then running back to Him when a problem arose.
Why? Why do we only realize we're in need once it's too late? Because we don't want to see what's happening.
For our conservatives...Obama isn't the best choice to be in the position he got placed in, okay, but he is not THE problem. The problem is people thinking he can fix our problems.
Nobody on the face of this earth is our "savior". No one person can make a dent in all the things that need to be fixed, because the problem is us. The human race...one that has been turning further and further from God since we were created. These problems haven't just all of the sudden popped up, like I said, we have chosen not to see certain things, chosen to stand back silently and see "what happens". Well, now we are paying the price.
The first thing to do is admit we are part of the problem. We are a pride filled bunch, so most people can't admit they have done anything wrong. We CAN be part of the solution, but only as we realize God is our nations ONLY hope. Not some man run in an overrated position.
It makes me sick to see people so blind to what is really going on these days. What's the worst part, you ask? That we could care less. We talk about our nations debt, and whereas I think it is ridiculous, look at our own finances as a PEOPLE. How are we to expect to raise men who will run a nation properly, spend wisely and know what it truly means to be a wise leader, when we don't teach it at home.
We are spoiled. We sit back in our cozy homes with our iPhones watching the game on a giant flat screen TV, all of which we really can't "afford" anyway...yet we gripe out the government for what? Being just like us? Do we really not see the problem?
The change isn't Obama's to make. It is each persons responsibility...every family, couple, and individual. When each person starts making a change in their own lives...that is when we can expect to see a change in our nation.
God MUST be the center of our lives, our homes, our thoughts and our hearts. There is no other way.
There is no other savior.
