A column in one of our local papers says that “opinion polls help to take the pulse of public opinion.” (The Northland Age, Tuesday, September 15, 2015)

But I am also told in the same column that if I want my opinion to carry real weight, the best way is to communicate directly with the decision-makers.

As for me there is only one decision-maker and that is the living God, the creator of heaven and earth.

• God is to be loved.
• God is to be worshipped.
•  God is to be served.
•  God is to be obeyed.
•  God is to be feared.

I communicate with the Lord directly in prayer, but not to make my opinion to carry real weight, but for Him to tell me what He wants me to do.
