Remembering

There is no wisdom, no insight, no plan that can succeed against the Lord.

Proverbs 21:30


There is much to distract us: What to make of Obama's "lipstick on a pig" reference? Should Sarah Palin be running for high office given that she's a Christian and still has children at home? What does the latest Hollywood bimbo du jour say about the Palin pick? Was 9/11 an inside job? Should we even be in Iraq? Football standings. Baseball standings. And on and on to distraction.

This day, we should be praying for the thousands of families who are hurting. They either lost their loved ones on September 11, 2001; or on the battlefields in the years that have followed.

May God comfort those families. May we be ever thankful for our freedoms. And may we be bold in fighting, when necessary, for what's good in America.

"God rules as surely on earth as He does in heaven. He permits, for reasons known only to Himself, people to act contrary to and in defiance of His revealed will. But He never permits them to act contrary to His sovereign will."
