All Things Work Together, For The Good Of Who ?



When I first heard Ms. Fords statement, to Mike Matthews (investigative reporter). In regards to her being chosen, by her lord to serve as state senator. I grated my teeth, and wished she had remained silent. To me it seems, public interviews aren't her strong point hauntingly reminded me of a statement made two years ago. By Mayor Herenton, at his annual New Years day speech. I think the statement was taken vastly out of context, by some of the citizens. Though like many things the mayor says, it could have been less direct. He has a tendacy to offend some people with his comments. Especially those who are critical of the mayor. Though he may seem arrogant, often he is correct. He is much better at handling the press, than Ms. Ford. He has plenty of practice. Though they are not political allies, they found common ground on this. You never know where the power of God is going to manifest. In this particular case politics.

The mayor made a statement, that most people wouldn't make. They wouldn't have the presence of mind, in front of the newscamera. To be that brutally honest, and sharp on their feet. Only if a person knows they'll get the opportunity, to speak their mind again publicly. Will they take the chance to make such a controversial statement. He said the media had an Atheistic spirit, that didn't understand things of a divine nature. I must say that I certainly agree. If you claim you are a Christian, it's supposed to be the foundation of your being. Everything you do should be guided by your faith. It should be evident in your actions. From the President of the United States, to the local Alderman. All power put in place, is allowed by God. True Christians understand that, in spite of our personal wishes. Whether or not they received their revelation from God, only they know. That's between God and them, not them and you. I'm sure those that are up against them, wonder where they find their strength. Could it be the lord they serve?

Romans 8:28
And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

    It's going to prevail. The mayor is just putting up a front. Ophelia Ford is being singled out. She better not get tied up with the mayor

    Those who love God. Are you sure the Mayor and Ms. Ford do?
