I was shocked to read in yesterday's Mercury-News that there are over 13% of Americans who are living in poverty. How can that be? Whatever happened to the American Dream? Sounds more like a nightmare to me!
The problem is so large and complex that there is certainly nothing I can do about it. (*I used to think this way, but somehow, I don't feel like I have a "free pass" to ignore this awful truth about our country anymore.)
I wonder what the church I go to can do about it. If the Lord's Prayer were to be answered, especially the part that says, "Your kingdom come, Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven", what that would look like? I don't think there are going to be any people living in poverty when God's will is always done on the earth! Lord, what would You have each one of us do?
