director@ohio.cwfa.org - Bobbi Radeck's email
Today we heard from Bobbi Radeck with Concerned Women for America. She discussed the importance of being informed and taking action for what we believe. She encouraged us to not only vote, but to know who we are voting for and what they stand for, Democrat or Republican, it doesn't seem to matter anymore. Our country was founded on Christian values and I firmly believe that we will be blessed for standing up for what we believe is not only right, but expected by our Father.
I mentioned at the start of our meeting that there was a king who did just such a thing in the Bible; the great grandson of King Solomon. Solomon's marriage to many foreign women brought in many foreign and pagan gods. After his death, his son continued in these practices which then were passed on to his son. They didn't stand up for what they knew was right for their country. One of the kings even caused a split, dividing Israel in two! The two regions found themselves at war with each other and with others. They were in chaos and unrest. It was when Solomon's great grandson, King Asa came to power in Judah (the southern region of Israel) that things changed. In 2 Chronicles 14:2 it says, "Asa did good and right in the sight of the Lord his God." Verses three and four tell us that "he removed the foreign alters...and commanded Judah [his country] to seek the Lord God of their fathers and to observe the law and the commandment." Finally, in verse seven King Asa says to his people, "The land is still ours because we have sought the Lord our God; we have sought Him, and He has given us rest on every side." The verse ends with "So they built and prospered."
I encourage you all to pray for our leaders that they will remove whatever "alters" they are putting in place and will turn to the Lord. As moms, let's pray that our children will have the honor of living in a country that is written in history as one that has turned to the Lord and is at rest. Our God is gracious and forgiving.
I hope you all enjoy your October. We will see you November 5 for Mission Meal Time!
