Day 25 - Foreign Policy Debate (10/22/12)

Day 25 of 40 days of prayer for the electionOriginally posted on Facebook on October 22, 2012


Debate day again. Last debate and on foreign policy. This is the one that I used to consider the most boring! Sorry, but honestly candidates used to mention countries I (or they) could scarcely pronounce, must less know where they were. After 9/11 (the first one), that all changed. If we don't know what the candidates believe about the United States' involvement in foreign affairs, we cannot vote in a wise way. Be sure to balance the views each one expresses with biblical principles. Well, I can't begin to understand it, but I am praying for wisdom as I listen tonight.

"To fear The Lord is to revere Him with love and to know that security is with Him, never apart from Him." Isaiah 33:6

The fear of The Lord is the key to the treasure of a sure foundation for our times, a rich store of salvation, wisdom & knowledge.

Be very wary of charming words, since they can be deceptive. Being charismatic & charming is not a replacement for the truth. Asking for the inside character and true motives be displayed in the candidates. Look for hidden agendas woven into the discourse. I know we can do it. I am looking forward to truth & wisdom being given to the men and to us as listeners!

Pray: (from my friend, Janice)

*"The peace of God which surpasses all understanding will guard his (the man of God's choosing) heart & mind through Jesus Christ" Phil. 4:7

*"Let the peace of God rule in our hearts...and be thankful." Col. 3:15
Amen
