Today, while listening to a beautiful message on dealing with stress from my pastor, I was prompted to state in this blog that what I am not going to do concerning Obamacare, is stress out about it. Yes, I do want to know what's in the PPACA (Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act), because it will affect my family and me for generations. But the US government is not my source. Insurance will not fulfill my needs. But God cares about every detail of my life. Nothing can happen that God is not in control of. In fact, the Bible tells us that God establishes kingdoms according to his plan for this earth.
So I'm not going to apologize for bringing God into this and if it discourages you from reading my blog, then so be it. But I want anyone following my writing to understand that I do not intend to get you worked up, worried, fearful or angry. I do want you to be encouraged. Knowledge is powerful and we can be used by God to affect change in this world. Use every ounce of the gifts God has already given you to change the world around you. But don't go in blindly spouting off half truths. That only makes us look foolish. Arm yourself with the truth and walk in wisdom. Regardless of the outcome of the battle, in the end, the war is won by those who stand for the truth.
And if any of you are dealing with stress and would like to hear my pastor's message at Church of the Highlands you may go to this link: http://churchofthehighlands.com/media. Today's message will be there by tomorrow. I promise that you will be encouraged.
And remember, you don't have to believe everything I do, but I do have an opinion of my own.
Be blessed today.
