"LOOKING IN ALL THE WRONG PLACES"

Who would have suspected the savior of the world be born in a stable. He never commanded a great military victory. He never came on a white stallion. He was never elected to a political office. He didn't go to Harvard or Stanford. He was the antithesis of everything we look for in a savior. He is the exact opposite of someone we think can solve all our problems for us. Today, we in America are doing the same thing, we are looking for a savior in all the wrong places. Look at the meteoric rise of Barack Obama. America was enthralled with this great orator graduated from Harvard. Surely he must be the one to save us. With all of his talents and intelligence surely he must be the one. Sorry America, we are prisoners of our own national stupidity. Nobody is going to fix your problems but you, and the One who gives you breath in your nostrils. No one will admit it but what we are expecting from Obama he cannot deliver. I believe God is going to allow this nation to flounder until we realize that He is God and we are not. As long as we continue to look to man for the answers we will continually be disappointed. God has a plan. Actually God is a family man and His plan is to gather His family into one household where He has furnished everything for His children. This is why the whole story begins with a baby wrapped in swaddling clothing lying in a manger. The baby was God's baby, His Son, Jesus, and it is through His Son that He is delivering all of the blessings of heaven to those who believe. Jesus is the Prince of Peace. Jesus is the Great Physician, Jesus is the one who multiplies the fishes and the loaves. Jesus is the one who pulls the tax money out of the fishes mouth. He is the one who provides all of our needs according to His riches in glory. Jesus is the Savior!!! Merry Christmas
