State of Affairs

 Today as I raed the Northwest Herald newspaper and on the Opinion page.They have a section called "speak out" and they ask questions that folks can answer questions that are asked by the newspaper. Well this day 1/9/2012 they asked
"If you could fix one state or U.S. problem in 2012,what would it be and why?"

And the answers didn't come as any surprise to me.
They were this Bullying,People being hateful and not being  good to each other,Unemployment and jobs leaving Illinois,Members of Congress to start to work together to improve this country and and to stop infighting between themselves, Poverty,Corruption in public and private education and the imbalances in tuition and salaries that the leaders of the schools get paid.
Look at them,Look at them closely and Look at them with the eyes of Jesus and ask "What would Jesus say about these answers?"
I believe that He would say words right out of His work the Bible from Philippians.

(Phil 4:6 [NET])
Do not be anxious about anything. Instead, in every situation, through prayer and petition with thanksgiving, tell your requests to God.

(Phil 4:7 [NET])
And the peace of God that surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.

(Phil 4:8 [NET])
Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is worthy of respect, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if something is excellent or praiseworthy, think about these things.


My comments to add to this is this; With the knowledge of Jesus in your life and living for Christ all of the above problems would be less or I think they would not have been a problem if all of those in power and had Jesus in their hearts and minds those folks would have never allowed . People would have made choices based on Faith and based on how Jesus conducted Himself here on earth and we should follow His examples of how to live. Corruption,Hate,Selfishness,Bullying, and all the woes we suffer from would been looked at as sins and that sin separate us from God and we go wandering around looking for relief from all w/o turning to Jesus and turning to Jesus would help change our future and in our lives.
Pray and Pray hard that God puts His hand upon our country and  that we turn our hearts and souls back to Jesus.
