First things first

 

Exo 20:1  And God spake all these words, saying, 

Exo 20:2  I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. 

I AM the LORD thy God.  The I AM that spoke to Moses in the burning bush sending him to Egypt to represent him and to free Israel, His chosen people. The people that God chose to reveal His will and plans. This is the first of the ten commandments.

The first words in the Bible speak of God, the creator of all things. 

Gen 1:1  In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. 

We need to get this truth in our hearts. God is creator and his will should be obeyed. He gives us a free will to choose between truth and falsehood.  To choose what is right in the mind of God or to go another way.

We are in a new beginning of a new year. Last year was real drama. There was the fear of the pandemic and the folly of elected leaders. Credit should be given to President Trump to bring a solution; a vaccine to fight the virus. More damage was done by the wrong thinking of godless leaders, culminating in what so many see as a falsified election. Stalin the ruthless communist dictator of Russia once said:

"I consider it completely unimportant who in the party will vote, or how; but what is extraordinarily important is this--who will count the votes, and how."

 Our nation was founded on truth and the belief in God. It will require God fearing people who stand for the traditional values--Truth, Justice and Freedom, the American way.  Patriots, stand on your values and be the light in a darkened world. God help us all.
