Called and Sent

 Nationally, we are in the grips of a battle for the soul of America; an ideological battle that is driven by passion on each side.  We see that in the fiscal debate that has taken center stage in our nation.  But what is at stake is more than just our economic well being as a nation, but our national moral and spiritual well being as well.  Adam’s race always seeks to do what they consider right in their eyes.  The problem is that we are not all wise and all knowing.  People ought to seek out God who is all of that and more.  That He has our best interest at heart is seen in the fact that He has sent prophets and teachers to show us the way; and in the end, He sent His Son to make the way.  It is His passion and purpose to save us from ourselves.  If we are to prosper, then we must seek and apply His wisdom and walk in His way.  That God is all knowing is seen in His call of Jeremiah.  It is a call we see in the lives of others in Scripture whom God chooses to use to reach the lost of humanity, and to right the course of a nation.
