Living At A Time When All Choices To Revive Civilizaion Are Equally Ineffective

Only one WAY leads to TRUTH and LIFE.
And even it may not go the way we wish it to.

Who can deny that the world has wasted and abused all that God created for our use in civilized societies? We have misused and abused it with wars, casualties, drug abuse, man made poisons and plastic junk. That, and a long list of every kind of perversion, religion and sin.  Humans have created the fisco we are in.  

Today, the President of the United States stands at the crossroads of American, and maybe the world's, destiny. He has voiced his reluctance to have to make the decision of exactly when the timing is right to restart our national Free Enterprise Business System.  He will consult with medical experts and business experts and, I hope, with some godly believers, but he alone must finally make that, impossible to know for sure, decision. The fact is, which ever or whatever he decides will have great consequences. Nothing he decides, though it may be the best possible, will work out perfectly and he will suffer the fury of the Left. There is no easy way out of this immensly complicated dilemma.  But Democrats will demand it be done without pain.  Half the nation will come down on him with blame for the China virus, Muslim terrorism, illegal drug scourge, and the locust blight expanding across Africa, the Middle East and into Asia. Even if he makes the absolute, perfect decision, the result will look entirely wrong. He will be damned if he does and damned if he doesn't. There is a best way, but even it will have its own assortment of major set backs. So what must he do?  Crawl up to the throne of God in humility and prayer.  Listen to the voices of reason, logic, and Common Sense, but listen more intently for direction from God.  And do not act until  ... that divine direction comes, and then live or die with that decision regardless of the hate, accusations and blame that follow.

The entire world populations have, since the beginning of time, sought the best "WAY" to do things, to think, to succeed, to survive, and to live.  At the root of their search was a desire to find what works best, to their advantage .... and a WAY to God. That is what the Ninivites were doing at Babel, but without prayer. This search of humanity has included seeking the best god for their protection and worship. Most have been born into a heritage whose ancestors had already, in their opinion, chosen all of the very best WAYS of TRUTH for LIFE.  The problem is, they all disagree on exactly what those WAYS to TRUTH and LIFE are, but most are certain their WAY is THE TRUE WAY to LIVE.

We Americans have inherited a basic way from our Founding Fathers, but many other ways have arrived on our shores in the minds and hearts of immigrants. They came here because they liked the results of our American WAY but most paid no attention to the Christian Cause of that results. So they wanted the benefits of our WAY but not the GOD of our Way.  Jesus introduced the one and only TRUE WAY to LIVE in John 14:6.

"I am the waythe truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me."

There is just this one Way to Truth and Life and the  blind in mind cannot see it.

"Then came his disciples, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the Pharisees were offended, after they heard this saying?  But he (Jesus) answered and said, Every plant, which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up. Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch." Matt.15:12-14.

Every false WAY fails the test of the Jesus WAY of TRUTH and LIFE.  

Only Fools Turn To The blind and evil For Deliverance From hard times which are Prophecied to come about. and will come.

I doubt there is a single Democrat who will, in truth, advise the president to pray for God's will and consult with honest, born again believers in addition to the medical, business and other expert counselors.

So what can you and I do to help the President make the right decision?  Hold him up before our God and pray for him in faith that his decision be according to God's will even if it doesn't look like it after the fact. RB
