Amos 5:14
Seek good and not evil, that you may live…
------------------------------------------------------
Today is another historical day for the Filipino people. The new president of the Republic, President Noynoy Aquino will take his oath of office to lead the nation of 95 million in the next six years.
During his campaign, his platform of office is rooted on weeding out corruption in government. In so doing, he intends to take out each and every Filipinos from poverty. Only through a clean government can true public service be served to those who needs and deserves it.
And similar to our spiritual lives, we need to take away all the evil and corruption from our hearts so we can start a life of clean conscience. We need to allow Jesus to cast out all the demons from our lives.
Only through a clean heart can we ensure that we can truly serve and love God with all our hearts, mind and spirit.
Jesus did not come into the world simply because we have some bad habits that need to be corrected. He came into the world because we have such dirty hearts that need to be purified, so we may live perfectly as our Heavenly Father is perfect.
Just let Him come in to you and listen to His words. Let Him purify your mind, let Him cleanse your spirit, let Him create in you a clean heart.
Let us pray +
Most High God, Blessed and Wonderful Savior, Ever-present Holy Spirit, we commend this nation to your compassionate and merciful care. As we are guided by you providence, may we dwell secure in your peace. Grant to President Noynoy, your wisdom and strength to know and to do your will. Fill the President with the love of truth and righteousness. Make him ever mindful of his call to serve this people in your fear. In the name of the Wonderful Father, Most Beloved And Precious Son, and Ever-present Holy Spirit upon whom we can rely. Amen +
To the upright I will show the saving power of God.
