In the past few weeks God has been tugging at my heart on the issue of investing in the government with my prayer life.  Lately i cannot say that it has been on my radar as a priority of prayer.  But now, more than ever, it will be.  My motivation is not so much as a result of agreeing or  disagreeing with the governing authorities but my motivation is the fact that my/our hope is not found in those governing authorities.  On the contrary, my/our hope is found in God alone.  He is the One who is sovereign and ruler of the nations.  

So what now?  We can be confident in this, that He who began a good work in us, will bring it to completion.  He is the One who brings change and hope for the nations.  And the best part of it all, He includes us in it.  That is right, you can be vessels of change for your community, family, economy, nation.  It is not time for the church, the followers of Christ, to pick up what we once dropped and left to the government to fix.  It is time to be the change for our communities. You and I are then hands of feet of Christ.  You and I, the church, are the hope of the world.  So let's start acting like it!
