“THINKABOUTIT” THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

Monday; September 29, 2008

          The other day, I was watching a program about Washington D.C. and the narrator made a statement that really stuck with me.  In describing a perception held by some early Americans, he said that we were supposed to be a great and good nation.  While, on the surface, this statement might seem to be a redundant hyperbole, there is something special in it.  We have been blessed with such a massive land base and so much wealth that we have become one of the great superpowers on the earth; yet, there is something more.  In the right of power, comes the requirement of goodness.  We have been given a lot of tools, we much choose to use them in a way in which we demonstrate righteousness and practice goodness.

          Our nation has been blessed with the freedom to worship it’s Creator and Sustainer, the Great and Good God.  Are we taking advantage of that?  If so, we can maintain our status as perceived by our forefathers; but, if not, what’s to say that God won’t raise up another great and good power to put us in our place?

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