Psalm 11

Scripture

Psalm 11

Observation

Oh the Holy Spirit is wonderful, and I am simply amazed to be drawn to this Psalm today. It is so short and before I read it I prayed that it would speak loud and clear to me. Verse 3 nearly jumped up off the page.

The foundations of law and order have collapsed.
What can the righteous do?"

I just wrote a post about the election and how impressed I was with John McCain's selection of Sarah Palin as his running mate and how it has drawn me into the process. The world and this country are so out of conrol - the foundations have collapsed. We need leaders who are trusting in God.


Application

And so what can we do? I heard the answer in my mind so loud and clear - We need to Pray!


Prayer

Dear Lord thank you for speaking so clearly to me today. I rarely pray for our leaders but today I heard you telling me to do just that and so I pray for the candidates to have a safe, clean, and ethical campaign. I pray that you will work through them and bring the entire country closer to you and repair the corruption and fractured foundation that this country is experiencing.
