What a song, what perception...as a people, as a nation and as a person...People Need the Lord. Two- thousand ten is less then twelve hours to coming to an end and I have already begun the search in my head on what I need to do and not do, what I plan to change and not change and what I plan to start and plan to stop. But at the end of all my planning the only reasonable and realistic conclusion of what I really need is the Lord. Yes, indeed, people need the Lord. Our world is screaming at the top of it's lungs..."I need help...Will somebody please help me!" Our society reflects our great need for the Lord in our moral behavior. Washington needs the Lord...evident in the many nominated men and women who act on the wills and desires of men rather then on the written Word of God. Do our churches need the Lord? Yes, our churches bear fruit that demonstrate we have turned from Him and forgotten His ways. Yes! We need the Lord. Yes, I need the Lord! All of us have turned away. All of us have failed. But this is not a sad, helpless, hopeless message. Rather it is a message of Great Hope. I cannot think of a greater time to realize we need the Lord then the beginning of a New Year. The God of Second Chances once again is giving us another chance in 2011. The hymn sings "at the end of broken dreams...people need the Lord." This is the end. The sun is setting on yester-year and the dawn of a new year is arising. Broken dreams are gone...but new ones are coming! The hymn goes a little further and says "When will we realize He's the open door. People need the Lord." Let this be the year you realize you need the Lord. And beloved if you are already His then realize all the more how much more you need Him. Remember, you, me, we...PEOPLE NEED THE LORD!
Happy "2011"
From Our Family to Yours.
