All year long we encourage each other to discover, unlock and live Godly destinies.  We extend our faith and hope to include our educational systems, our businesses, and our government.  But, thanks to Abraham Lincoln, the American people stop this one day and give thanks to Almighty God.

Please take a moment and watch this video, which is a reading of Abraham Lincoln's Thanksgiving Day Proclamation - with God in the center of the celebration.  It is especially important to consider his words in light of America today and your calling as salt and light to the nation.

Be blessed and enjoy your Thanksgiving Day.

Perspective is critical as you navigate toward your Godly destiny.  And, perhaps this is never more true than for those who are called to serve God in civil or political service.  It is easy to become discouraged or fatalistic as it relates to the finances or general wealth of the nations.  But, there is another side to this story.  An amazing story of God's provision and abundance.

As a current or future leader in the world of governance there is much to be optimistic about.  This video is part two of a discussion by Steven Landsburg about why economic freedom is critical for wealth creation.  Landsburg explains how proper tax policy coupled with investment and the freedom to fail are all intertwined in good public policy.  If you have a serious desire to serve God and live your destiny through government service, then understanding these few basic ideas are critical.

This is some serious food of thought for those who are serious about building on the Godly wins of the past to see a future based on God's purposes for mankind.
