“THINKABOUTIT” THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

Wednesday;  January 9, 2008

 

          If the capitol city of South Dakota is known for anything during this time of year it is geese and legislators.  The geese have been here for a while; this week, we welcome the lawmakers.

          Over the past few decades, public service has seemed to loose some of it’s luster; but, the truth of the matter is that what these men and women do is still an important service to their communities and our state.  With the beginning of this session, it is altogether proper that everyone recalls not only the value of their service to their constituents; but, also their responsibility to God.  It is through their decisions, that godly lives are made either easier or more difficult. 

          For those of us who send these representatives to the capitol, let’s take time to pray for their wisdom.  For those who serve, always remember the words of the wise king, “Loyalty and truth preserve the king, and he upholds his throne by righteousness.”  (Proverbs 20:28).  May God bless the process and the nation it will influence.

          Think about it!  For the Madison Avenue Church of Christ; this is Charlie Wharton.
