Bringing Biblical Truths to Daily Life
Scrambling
As scandals in this administration are being exposed and more details are coming to light, it is not surprising to observe all the subsequent scrambling by the various players. A virtual game of “musical chairs” is happening before our very eyes, and instead of housecleaning, the administration appears to be rearranging the deck–same old “chairs” in new, upgraded positions.
One radio commentator suggested yesterday that this was done on purpose as an “in-your-face” thumbing of the nose at anyone who had the nerve to stand up against the corruption. Be that as it may, Truth trumps nose-thumbing. The apostle Paul said, “And do not [for a moment] be frightened or intimidated in anything by your opponents and adversaries, for such [constancy and fearlessness] will be a clear sign (proof and seal) to them of [their impending] destruction, but [a sure token and evidence] of your deliverance and salvation, and that from God” (Phil. 1:28, AMP).
As you pray about the events in our government, do not be moved by power’s maneuverings for advantage and intimidating effect. Stand your ground, joining your faith for truth to prevail with the faith of like-minded men and women from sea to shining sea. Trust God to direct your prayers, knowing that He is actively searching for someone to pray big, bold, audacious prayers. I challenge you again: stand your ground in prayer and disrupt the destruction.

Prayer Gas
So many areas of fraud, bias, intimidation, and constitutional disregard are being uncovered now concerning this administration that it is easy to let up in prayer.
Relief and even a sense of victory might be what you’re feeling right about now. You may even think “Justice is in the bag”—others are starting to see what you’ve known all along.
And the tendency is to relax and coast, assuming that it will be covered from here on out.
But I was impressed strongly this week that each of us is to keep our foot on the gas.
Don’t let up seeking God and praying about what He shows you for this nation. He’s given you a unique piece of this crazy puzzle to pray about, and this nation desperately needs you to take your stand!
Pedal to the metal time!
