For further insight into where we are headed here in this country and throughout the world, one need only look back through history. Are we so dull and dense that we miss what's happening right before our eyes? Are we so foolish as a nation that we abandon wisdom when it is needed most, in favor of whoever can shout the loudest and grab the most attention and followers? Are we so different from the world, truly, when it comes to the happenings in our day?
Our children and grandchildren look to us. What, exactly, are they seeing and hearing? I am disappointed and quite frankly shocked by the language and attitudes I have witnessed just here on Facebook from people who claim to follow Jesus Christ. And for what, friends? An election?
Might I make a suggestion. Let us all turn off the TV, put down the headlines and tune out the noise from the latest pundit, and pick up our Bibles. Let's spend time with our families teaching them how to be godly and civilly discuss matters, like mature adults are supposed to do. Let's show the world that whether it be politics or religion or sports, they can trust that we'll meet each of those with the same wisdom and sound mind of a Christian. They can trust that we'll meet it all with the mind of Christ which we find for ourselves so beautifully preserved in our Bibles.
Here's what I read tonight to help me get refocused and to begin listening to the right voices calling out in the noise all around me every day. Wisdom cries out, will I hear?
Proverbs 8
