It was easier for me to use the Word to speak about how I feel about this administration’s foolishness and confusion. This deception and divisiveness will not last. God will not be mocked. There is a lot more to be added from the NIV. You can find your own scriptures for that.
Philippians 3:18-21 - 18 For, as I have often told you before and now tell you again, even with tears, many live as enemies of the cross of Christ. 19 Their destiny is destruction, their god is their stomach, and their glory is in their shame. Their minds are set on earthly things. 20 But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ, 21 who, by the power that enables him to bring everything under his control, will transform our lowly bodies so that they will be like his glorious body. Romans 12:2 - Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing, and perfect will. Psalm 32:8 - I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my loving eye on you. Deuteronomy 6:4-7 - 4 Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. 5 Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. 6 These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. 7 Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down, and when you get up. Deuteronomy 6:13-19 - 13 Fear the Lord your God, serve him only and take your oaths in his name. 14 Do not follow other gods, the gods of the peoples around you; 15 for the Lord your God, who is among you, is a jealous God and his anger will burn against you, and he will destroy you from the face of the land. 16 Do not put the Lord your God to the test as you did at Massah. 17 Be sure to keep the commands of the Lord your God and the stipulations and decrees he has given you. 18 Do what is right and good in the Lord’s sight, so that it may go well with you and you may go in and take over the good land the Lord promised on oath to your ancestors, 19thrusting out all your enemies before you, as the Lord said.
It's ironic that the phrase "In God We Trust" originated from a desire for religious recognition on U.S. currency during the Civil War, based on letters from citizens like Reverend M.R. Watkinson to Treasury Secretary Salmon P. Chase in 1861. It first appeared on the two-cent coin in 1864 and became the official motto in 1956. During the Cold War, to set the U.S. apart from the Soviet Union, Congress passed a law in 1955 requiring its presence on all money, and President Eisenhower signed this act on July 30, 1956, making it the official motto. Amidst destruction driven by hatred and division, people called for trust in God. Yet, we continue to support hate and division. Read and listen to God's Word. We can repent and believe in the one true God. We can’t change others, but we can change ourselves.
