With all of the problems facing Americans today, it’s real easy to become uneasy about our country’s future. Oftentimes the economic and social problems seem incapable of solution at least by the standards we try to meet. Dr. Jimmy Jeffcoat, who is with Huntingdon College, taught our Sunday School Class on Easter Sunday and he did a terrific job. Jimmy pointed out that the only way we can handle the current set of problems is to rely on our faith in God and be obedient to the covenant found in the New Testament. Actually, as he pointed out, the formula for our success as a nation is found in the Old Testament:

If my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land.
2 Chronicles 7:14

All of us should pray that our leaders on the national level will take this to heart and follow God’s formula for getting things right in this country. All of us must pray diligently for a change of direction in the land. It’s obvious that we are heading in the wrong direction on a number of fronts. It’s only by trusting God and following the formula for correction set out above will our nation set things in order and secure the future for our children and grandchildren.
