Good Morning, God
Lord, your word says to us, “What causes fights and quarrels among you? Don’t they come from your desires that battle within you? You want something but don’t get it”.
Yes, James, you are absolutely right. From as soon as we are born, we have desires. Some desires are immediately important to our health. Some desires come from our sinful nature. Some desires come from our wanting to please you, our Creator, Redeemer and Sustainer.
But, we are human, Lord God. We are willful people, so we quarrel and fight; we look for the specks in every eye but ours – but in ours is a log!
Lord, God, what if we would consider applying one criteria to our headlines – no political agenda, no self-aggrandizing, no ego-centeredness, no money-hunger – but the one criteria of how does what we are doing and the way we are being glorify you, Lord God. Help our politicians, and we who support them, make better headlines because their and our own sight is on you.
In Jesus’ name, Amen
