"Instead" List for our Country

Post date: Jul 23, 2010 9:56:48 PM

A friend of mine suggests you sit down and make a list of all the things in your life that aren’t working.  It should be pretty easy, the enemy taunts you with them all the time.  Then make a second list of everything God wants to do in your life instead (look at Is 61 for examples).  Burn the first list and pray the second one.

I would like to suggest we do that with our country. 

I get an amazing number of forwarded emails about what is wrong with our economy, our president, our morals, our treatment of Israel, etc., etc.  The emails usually encourage me to forward the email to everyone else who cares about our country.  I’m not interested in forwarding any more curses over the internet.   I suggest we make an “instead” list for what God would like to do with this country and forward that instead.  (I’m not saying ignore the problem, I’m saying speak into the solution instead of the problem.)

Just a thought.  And you have my permission to forward it.
