"Jacob then gave him some bread and the lentil stew; and Esau ate, drank, got up, and went his way. So Esau treated his right as firstborn with disdain." Genesis 25:34
I can't help but think of a country that is slowly tearing itself apart, walking away from "In God we trust." Are we giving up our rights like Esau for immediate comfort? This right that Esau gave up would come back later in his life, Jacob will inherit what belonged to Esau. What are we giving up when we do not stand up and speak the truth. How is our country changing because we do not recognize the gifts that God has given us. Prayer is powerful and God hears everyone of them. We have a God problem, are we are unwilling to share Him. He is the solution, only Love conquers hate.
What is God saying to me: Love is a gift meant to be given away, you have a choice to make. Will you impact the world around you with the Light of Christ, He is the Hope for all.
Dear Father, You have me contemplating the events of this weekend. I pray for this country and the rhetoric that is being pushed upon us. Bring us back to the values that built this great nation. Get us out of our homes to know our neighbors. Help us get back to our roots of "In God we trust." Prayers for the families that lost loved ones, prayers for those filled with hate and evil desires, may You shine through the darkness and bring us back to our birth right, a place in Heaven with You. May we not give that up for immediate comfort, I ask this in Jesus name, Amen.
Mary, Mother of Love, pray for us.
Greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world. 1 John 4:4b
