We are well into the New Year. Most people are hoping that this year will be better than last year. We need to pray that the Lord will have His hand on our leaders in Washington D.C. They will need a miracle from God to get out of the mess our Government has put this country in.

It’s a lot like Restoration work; and we know how hard that can be. Anyone who has restored an old piece of furniture knows it’s a lot of work: Put on the rubber gloves, pour on the chemicals, scrape off the four coats of paint, sand it down, stain it, varnish it, and, after several weeks, you have a piece of furniture that is ready to be used again.

Restoring relationships takes hard work as well. Approaching, talking, confessing, forgiving; its not easy. Removing the resentment, hurt and distrust restores a damaged relationship to its original glory. The Bible says to do whatever it takes to be restored to one another. It’s a word to the wise.

Fortunately for us, we have the ultimate model of reconciliation: God sending His Son so that we might be forgiven and have a restored relationship with Him. Let’s follow God’s example by being quick to make the first move toward reconciliation.

Thank you for your prayers and support to KELP RADIO. Remember to call us with your prayer requests. We pray over them every day.

Praying for our country,
Arnie McClatchey

Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.”
