The word that keeps reverberating in the atmosphere is “Generations “. There are decisions that are being made that will not only affect all of us who are living right now, but will also affect the generations to come. In the US, members of Congress are negotiating the various terms and conditions of a bill that if signed in to law will change our way of living, quality of life, and stunt the growth and opportunities of the future for billions of people. Unfortunately, some of the people at the negotiating table are treating this like a simple game where winners and losers have a chance to play again. The reality of this situation is that the winners are taking from those who have way less than them and the losers don’t just lose money, they could lose their lives. Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security benefits, SNAP, Section 8, and many other programs that help so many people are being cut, and in some cases under funded so that it can eventually be phased out.
I made a statement last week in jest. I was being sarcastic about a reaction that someone gave to something that I said. I jokingly commented, “I think I just started a chain reaction.” While I was attempting to be funny, I was also stating the truth: what we say and do can set off reactions that may reach farther than we will ever actually go. This is why what lawmakers and the bills that they sign into law are so important to pay attention to. Those lawmakers who know that they are working in the best interests of the people have no problem with the public knowing what they are working on and expressing where they stand. Those who are into shady dealings don’t want anyone to know what they are up to. The ones who will absolutely know what happened and who worked adversely against the best interests of the people are going to be us regular folks and all of the generations that come after.
I pray that the delusion of immunity from the fallout of policy will be broken over the 3 branches of US Government, especially the Executive Branch and the Legislative Branch. I come to you God requesting Your intervention in the matter of the current bill that is up to be voted on to be signed in to law. Lord there so many bad faith actors who act like You don’t see them or know there names. They forgot that the impact of their votes go far beyond this moment, and land way into the future. Lord break off the chains from the lie that they can keep manipulating the Legislative process in their favor while billions of Your people suffer. Lord destroy the strategy that makes lawmakers think that they can do dark dealings and hide their involvement. Lord crush the plan that makes lawmakers think that they can live with the fallout and manipulate their way out of accountability. Lord please hear the voice of the Generations crying out and have mercy on us all!
You Lord look beyond the outer appearance and see the heart of each lawmaker and Governmental leader. I ask Lord that those who have sworn oaths to protect and defend ‘We the People‘ will rise up and do what pleases Your and reflects Your heart and will for all people. In Jesus Christ’s name we pray Amen!
Thank you for reading this far into the post. This is more like the type blog posts that I would make years ago. It’s nice to revisit a format that has become a foundation for my current blog post.
Blessings Always,
