The Lord’s Purpose

During our Fourth of July parade the Democratic Party included a gay agenda flag resembling the American flag in their lineup. On a day when America’s independence unites us under one flag, the Dems chose to divide us with a rainbow stars and stripes. Armed with indignation and patriotism I fired off a letter-to-the-editor of the Montrose Mirror. The editor published the letter and a photo of the offense, and then she posted them on the Mirror Facebook page.  In a little over 24 hours the letter generated over 25,000 views (and still counting), along with hundreds of colorful comments, likes and shares. My first thought was to credit the far reaching arm of social media with the explosion of interest. However, I’m reminded, “Many are the plans in a man’s heart, but it is the LORD’s purpose that prevails” (Pr 19:21 NIV).

Gail;

-----“When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; but when the wicked rule, the people groan.” (Prov 29:2) The wicked have plans in their hearts. They think to make utopia. But the only ideas they construct it from are lies, fraud, and deceit. Every direction the country has turned under their power and every stand it has taken have all been crippling to our individual freedoms and dignities. But, oh for sure, they think they build utopia. They think they’ve made freedom while everyone who disagrees must stay silent or be destroyed. Indeed God has a purpose for them and their deceitful rule.
-----“The LORD brings the counsel of the nations to nought; He frustrates the plans of the peoples.” “Thou, LORD God of hosts, art God of Israel. Awake to punish all the nations; spare none of those who treacherously plot evil. Selah Each evening they come back, howling like dogs and prowling about the city. There they are, bellowing with their mouths, and snarling with their lips— for ‘Who,’ they think, ‘will hear us?’ But thou, O LORD, dost laugh at them;
thou dost hold all the nations in derision.” “The Lord is at your right hand; He will shatter kings on the day of his wrath. He will execute judgment among the nations, filling them with corpses;
He will shatter chiefs over the wide earth.” “All the ends of the earth shall remember and turn to the LORD; and all the families of the nations shall worship before Him. For dominion belongs to the LORD, and He rules over the nations. (Ps 33:10; 59:5-8; 110:5-6; 22:27-28)
-----Now, there’s a purpose worth waiting for. The WhiteHouse went green, yellow, purple, and blue momentarily. They destroyed our flag in our parade momentarily. Today, the rule is theirs.. Tomorrow, those who love righteousness will be given their rule, and it will never end. Praise the Lord! Not for sharing His rule, but for that rule being just and equitable in righteousness rather than in the deceit of bullyness. For He loves with true love those who love Him. And He will put to end those who balk and scoff at Him and ridicule and bully His beloved.



Love you all,
