It is difficult to find peace under my friendly shade today when America is in such dire circumstances. As a banker, it is hard for me to understand why, as a nation, our leaders cannot come together to balance the budget. When families get into financial crisis, they learn to cut back. They stop excessive spending. They reestablish their priorities. As Christians, we are given a commission to render unto God that which belongs to Him, and to Caesar, that which belongs to Caesar. When we look at what our obligations are we expect the government (Caesar) to be responsible with the money given them. God has blessed our nation, but we lack good stewardship. God can no longer say, “Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master’s happiness.”
I place before all of you, who are concerned about our country, to join the national call for prayer established for August 6. It is to be a day of Prayer and Fasting for our nation in order to seek God’s guidance and wisdom in addressing the challenges that face our communities, states, and nation. Please pray, on that day, for the healing of our country and for the restoration of enduring Godly values.
