Back To God

It has been a long time since I've posted a blog. It honestly isn't my strong suit. What do I have to say that would be of interest? And with all the anger and strife within our country these past months I figured silence, in this case, was golden. However, something changed for me this morning. I discovered an incredible music video by Reba Mcentire called, "Back To God." I can't tell you how many times I've listened to it today. But, it was the very first time watching the video that I knew I needed to post a Blog, short as it may be.


"Have you looked around? Have you heard the sound Mama's cry in'? Or do you turn away
When you see the face Of the innocent dyin'? In these darkest days Are you not afraid That it's too late?
You gotta get down on your knees, believe. Fold your hands and beg and plead. You gotta keep on praying
You gotta cry, ram tears of pain. Pound the floor and scream His name. Cause we're still worth saving.
We can't go on like this and live like this. We can't love like this.We gotta give this world back to God"
(Lyrics from song by Reba Mcentire, "Back to God.")

   These are the first lines of the song. They are the words that stopped me in my tracks and caused me to listen. Really listen. Our Nation and our world are for lack of better words, " going to hell in a hand basket."  The evening news on any given day depicts images of violence, devastation and loss. Rioting in the streets, vandalism, hate, terrorism, death. The Land of the Free, One Nation under God, has become a war zone. A Nation divided. We throw our hands up and wonder where will it all end? We feel powerless. But we are not without power. We have the power of prayer. But not weak, "Oh please God," prayer. We need to pray just as this song says. Fold our hands, beg and plead. Cry. Ram tears of pain. Pound the floor and scream His name. Because, people, we are worth saving.

"Have you lost a love? Do you feel like givin' up? Has your heart been broken? Are your kids okay?
Will they come home safe? And do you lie there hoping? You can make a wish, you knock on wood
It won't do no good. Gotta give this world back to God.Give this world back to God,"
(lyrics from "Back to God," by Reba Mcentire)

Our Nation and our world are in trouble. It is time for we believers not just to stand as the church of Christ, but as Warriors of God. "We can't go on like this. We can't love like this. We gotta give the world back to God."  A war is being fought within our very shores. The battle of all the ages. It's time to put on the armor of God, get on our knees and bombard Heaven with the prayers of warriors. Whether we voted for him or not we need to pray for our President, Vice President and our entire government. Pray for wisdom and guidance. Pray for our children. Pray for our Nation.  

We are worth saving.

Please take a minute to watch Reba's music video and pray. If you feel led please add your Amen in the comments.
