On his way to the Constitutional Convention in January, 1776, John Adams wrote in his journal, "We have not men fit for the times. We are deficient in genius, education, in travel, fortune--in everything. I feel unutterable anxiety." Six months later, those men published to the world one of the blockbusters of history beginning "When in the Course of human events...."
As I read newsmagazines and watch the news on TV, I begin to think, "We have not men or women fit for these times." That's when I call up Col. 1:16-17: "For by him were all things created:....thrones, powers, rulers and authorities....and in him all things hold together."
Father, give us courage to face the day knowing you are the ruler of all.
