Mr. President: I
liked your speech. Some didn’t. You might want to hire a cup bearer, just to
be on the safe side.
Nehemiah, in the
Bible had been a cup-bearer in Persia for Queen Esther’s husband, King Artie
something. He took a break from that job
to build a wall ...a thousand miles to the north...in Jerusalem. Most people thought he was nuts. You two have
that in common. This man trusted God
with his whole heart while satan let fly every trick he had up his sleeve. BUT, the
wall went up! ...in record time.
Since you are a speed
writer on Twitter you may be a speed reader too...so , between meetings with today’s
world leaders, you would do yourself a favor by reading the bio of long-ago
King Hezekiah. He started out
humble...admittedly not knowing his right foot from his left. That gave God a
huge advantage...but his wife secretly worshiped a fertility goddess...and so
their son filled with alligators the very swamp his daddy had drained.
Good King. Bad King. If we read the record of the kings in one
fell swoop our emotions fly right off the track. Best to take it in chunks.
I am ninety years old
and my thoughts are still not His, nor are my ways His either. Mr. President. Donald: Do not, for a minute
“lean unto your own understanding”. But of course, being human, you will.
Out here in wacko California,
not all of us have bowed the knee to Baal.
May that give you hope for the country.
Your friend,
Jo Stone
