Where would you put nuclear waste? At one time the Marianas Trench, the deepest part of the world’s oceans, was the chosen site. Scientists believed nothing could live in that depth and darkness. However, before anything was dumped, two brave explorers figured out how to perform a manned expedition and went down to take a look. What they discovered surprised everybody…exotic marine life, and lots of it! Although very risky, deep water exploration saved an important part of the Earth’s ecosystem from becoming a toxic dump.

The purpose in a man’s heart is like deep water, but a man of understanding will draw it out.

Proverbs 20:5

Sadly, many people have chosen to bury life’s difficulties and disappointment’s in the deepest recesses of their heart. Dumping bitterness and anger into the place created for God’s presence only leaves one in pain and without hope.

If you want the best for America, start by taking a good look inside your own heart. Invite God’s healing into the deepest recesses of your soul. Honestly ask Him today to reveal sin and give you an understanding of His purposes for you. Also pray for America’s elected leaders to have the opportunity and courage to do the same.
