Good Morning, God,
Lord, with one more week to go, we have been hearing more and more about the national budget sequestration that will take place next Friday on March 1. These will be "across-the-board cuts" to most federal budget items. It is said that it will cost thousands of jobs, harm our fragile economy, and lower the economic growth by a half a percentage point. And, it seemed like such a good idea last year when everyone-the Congress and the President-agreed to it to the keep the government running. Surely, it was thought, mature men and women of our government could come to an agreement within six months, especially with automatic across-the-board cuts looming. "Wrong," it appears.
You know, Lord, the results of this inability to avoid sequestration is the same as our inability to avoid sin. When we don't avoid sin, there are always consequences. When we can't solve our governments pride issues with compromise, there are always consequences.
Forgive us all our sins, Lord, and deliver us from evil and ourselves.
In Jesus' name, Amen.
