"Suppose a nation in some distant Region should take the Bible for their only law Book, and every member should regulate his conduct by the precepts there exhibited! Every member would be obliged in conscience, to temperance, frugality, and industry; to justice, kindness, and charity towards his fellow men; and to piety, love, and reverence toward Almighty God. What a Eutopia, what a Paradise would this region be." John Adams
What if instead of a "distant Region," our very own nation would once again, live by these principles?
What if as individuals, we lived by these principles?
We have become so caught up in our daily routines and what's going on in the media, that we have lost sight of the goal that was once before us - To live a life that is acceptable and pleasing unto Him - the most High God.
Have we forgotten who HE is? He is the Lord of Glory, filled with splendor and majesty. All creation was made to bow before Him, to acknowledge His sovereignty. Have we forgotten His holiness? The greatness of his power? Do we live so carelessly that we do not fear Him as we once did? Do we remember how it feels to stand in the awesomeness of His presence or to bow under the weight of His glory?
We may be living under a government that has lost sight of the ONE true God; a government that is daily neglecting its morals and values, but we have a choice. We can spend time complaining and murmuring about all we do not like or we can take that same time and apply it to our own life... Change begins with ONE!
Our world as we know it today was changed by One Man, Jesus Christ. One life changed the destiny of the world. If we truly want to see change in this land that we live in, let it begin with one! He is our hope! He is the One who can bring change to this nation and change to the way we live our every day life!
Lord, if we find favor in your sight, hear our hearts cry! Find us acceptable in your sight. Let the weight of your glory come down. We desperately await your presence. Let your people arise and take a stand in the authority of your name. We are truly nothing without you! We recognize you and behold you as our King! If you have lost sight, look to Him today! If your life is spinning out of control, look to Him. There is none other that can bring change like He can. Change begins with one...Let it start with you today!
