Brother , I don't have to read about Secretary Clinton's campaign, I worked on her campaign. LOL... And you are absolutely right. Things would be a whole lot different if she was president!... We would still have the respect of all other country's and not just be a joke... For the last 7 decades all of the other country's looked up to us. Not anymore, not even close!!! Exactly what is it that Trump has done for this country that has benefited you??? Are you a billionaire ??? So far, this is the only thing he has done for the republicans... But yeah, I want to know Bill, I am truly interested...
Bible Study Tool of Psalm 37
(compiled and formatted by Bill Stevenson)
Introduction: This is my favorite Psalm because after every upset in my life, remembering the basic commands in it have helped me to recover to right thinking as Philippians 4:6-8 and Jude 20-23 as I waited for Romans 8:29 blessings. For this study, I used the King James Version software and I slightly modernized the verses. Also, this study is for females too, I have inserted “or she”, “or her” and other female alternatives in the appropriate verses. I slightly modernized the verses I used. The indentations are for good and logical reasons too. Try to determine why. Finally divine promises and conditions are indicated. The bolded “P”s mean promises and the bolded “C”s mean conditions. The bolded number following each indicates the count. The condition could be just one word, like “upright” or “righteous”.
1 A Psalm of David.
Fret not yourself because of evildoers,
neither be you envious against the workers of iniquity.
2 For they shall soon be cut down like the grass and wither as the green herb. P1
3 Trust in The Lord, and do good; C1 & 2
so shall you dwell in the land, and verily you shall be fed. P2
4 Delight yourself also in The Lord, C3
and He shall give you the desires of your heart. P3
5 Commit your way unto The Lord; C4
trust also in Him; C5
and He shall bring it to pass. P4
6 And He shall bring forth
your righteousness C6 as the light, P5
and your judgment as the noonday. P6
7 Rest in The Lord, and wait patiently for Him;
fret not yourself because of him (or her) who prospers in his (or her) way,
because of the man (or woman) who brings wicked devices to pass.
8 Cease from anger, and forsake wrath; C7
fret not yourself in any wise to do evil. C8
9 For evildoers shall be cut off; P7
but those that wait upon The Lord,
they shall inherit the Earth. P8
10 For yet a little while, and the wicked C9 shall not be, P9
you shall diligently consider his (or her) place C10 and it shall not be.
11 But the meek C11 shall inherit the Earth; P10
and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace. P11
12 The wicked plots against the just, and gnashes upon him (or her) with his (or her) teeth. C12
13 The Lord shall laugh at him (or her), for he sees that his (or her) day is coming. P12
14 The wicked
have drawn out the sword,
and have bent their bow,
to cast down the poor and needy,
and to slay such as be of upright life. C13
15 Their sword shall enter into their own heart,
and their bows shall be broken. P13
16 A little that a righteous man (or woman) has is better than the riches of many wicked.
17 For the arms of the wicked shall be broken;
but The Lord upholds the righteous C14. P14
18 The Lord knows the days of the upright C15; and their inheritance shall be for ever P15.
19 They shall not be ashamed in the evil time; P16
and in the days of famine they shall be satisfied. P17
20 But the wicked C16 shall perish P18,
and the enemies of The Lord C17 shall be as the fat of lambs P19;
they shall consume; into smoke shall they consume away P20.
21 The wicked borrows and pays not again.
but the righteous shows mercy and gives. C18
22 For such as be blessed of Him shall inherit the Earth; P21
and they who be cursed of Him shall be cut off. P22
23 The steps of a good C19 man (or woman) are ordered by The Lord;
and He delights in his (or her) way. P23
24 though he (or she) fall, he (or her)shall not be utterly cast down, P24
for The Lord upholds him his (or her) with His hand. P25
25 I have been young and now am old, yet have I not seen the righteous C20
forsaken,
nor his (or her) seed begging bread.
26 He is ever merciful, and lends;
and his (or her) seed is blessed. P26
27 Depart from evil, and do good; C21
and dwell for evermore. P27
28 For The Lord loves judgment, and forsakes not His Saints; P28
they are preserved for ever; P29
but the seed of the wicked shall be cut off. P30
29 The righteous C22 shall inherit the land P31, and dwell therein for ever P32.
30 The mouth of the righteous speaks wisdom,
and his (or her) tongue talks of judgment.
31 The Law of his God is in his (or her) heart; C23
none of his (or her) steps shall slide. P33
32 The wicked watches the righteous C24, and seeks to slay him (or her).
33 The Lord will not leave him (or her) in his (or her) hand, P34
nor condemn him (or her) when he (or she) is judged. P35
34 Wait on The Lord C25, and keep His way C26,
and He shall exalt you to inherit the land. P36
When the wicked are cut off, you shall see it. P37
35 I have seen the wicked in great power, and spreading himself like a green bay tree.
36 Yet he passed away, and, lo, he was not:
yes, I sought him, but he could not be found.
37 Mark the perfect C27 man (or woman), and behold the upright C28;
for the end of that man (or woman) is peace. P38
38 But the transgressors shall be destroyed together; P39
the end of the wicked shall be cut off. P40
39 But the salvation of the righteous C29 is of The Lord; P41
He is their strength in the time of trouble. P42
40 And The Lord shall help them and deliver them P43:
He shall
deliver them from the wicked, P44
and save them, P45
because they trust in Him. C30

Philippians 4:4-8
4 Rejoice in the Lord always.
I will say it again: Rejoice!
5 Let your gentleness be evident to all.
The Lord is near.
6 Do not be anxious about anything,
but in everything,
by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving,
present your requests to God.
7 And the peace of God,
which surpasses all understanding,
will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
8 Finally, brothers [and sisters],
whatever is true,
whatever is noble,
whatever is just,
whatever is pure,
whatever is lovely,
whatever things are of good report--
if anything is excellent or praiseworthy--
meditate about such things.

Spiritual Armor of God
Ephesians 6:10-18 (from the Lockman Foundation’s Amplified Bible and logically formatted)
10 In conclusion,
be strong in the Lord [be empowered through your union with Him];
draw your strength from Him [that strength which His boundless might provides].
11 Put on God's whole armor [the armor of a heavy-armed soldier which God supplies],
that you may be able successfully to stand up
against [all] the strategies {and} the deceits of the devil.
12 For we are not wrestling with flesh and blood
[contending only with physical opponents],
but against the despotisms,
against the powers,
against [the master spirits who are] the world rulers of this present darkness,
against the spirit forces of wickedness in the heavenly (supernatural) sphere.
13 Therefore put on God's complete armor,
that you may be able to
resist {and}
stand your ground on the evil day [of danger],
and, having done all [the crisis demands], to stand [firmly in your place].
14 Stand therefore [hold your ground],
having tightened the belt of truth around your loins
and having put on the breastplate
of integrity {and}
of moral rectitude {and}
right standing with God,
15 And having shod your feet in preparation of the Gospel of peace.
[To face the enemy with the firm-footed stability, the promptness,
and the readiness produced by the good news.]
16 Lift up over all the [covering] shield of saving faith,
upon which you can quench all the flaming missiles of the wicked [one].
17 And take
the helmet of salvation
and the sword that the Holy Spirit wields, which is the Word of God.
18 Pray at all times (on every occasion, in every season) in The Spirit,
with all [manner of] prayer and entreaty.
To that end keep alert and watch with strong purpose {and} perseverance,
interceding in behalf of all the saints (God's consecrated people).

P-- Pursue righteousness or Christ-likeness. (See Ephesians 4:11-16.)
O-- Observe good leaders about how they are responsible in both speech and actions.
N-- Need to frequently remember all of God’s Grace in our lives and be more thankful for such.
S-- Be obedient to the Holy Spirit’s urging for your Sanctification.
I-- Intellectualism is not very important compared to Christian Sanctification.
B-- Bible understanding and obeying is so important.
I-- Immersion into doing our Ephesians 2:10 parts for the Great Commission is so important.
L-- Loving with compassion everyone. (In what ways do you do such, even for enemies?)
T-- Teaching others spiritual truths when Holy Spirit urged. (He has perfect timing.)
Y-- Yeshua is the King of Kings and Lord of Lords, keep obeying His wonderful teachings.

Romans 13:
1 Let every soul be subject to the higher authorities.
For there is no authority but of God;
the authorities that exist are ordained by God.
2 So that the one resisting the authority resists the ordinance of God;
and the ones who resist will receive judgment to themselves.
3 For the rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the bad.
And do you desire to be not afraid of the authority?
Do the good, and you shall have praise from it.
4 For it is a servant of God to you for good.
For if you practice evil, be afraid,
for it does not bear the sword in vain;
for it is a servant of God, a revenger for wrath on him (or her) who does evil.
5 Therefore you must be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience' sake.
6 For because of this you also pay taxes.
For they are God's servants, always giving attention to this very thing.
7 Therefore give to all their dues;
to the one due tax, the tax;
tribute to whom tribute is due,
fear to whom fear is due,
and honor to whom honor is due.
8 Owe no one anything,
except to love one another;
for he (or she) who loves another has fulfilled the Law.
9 For: “Do not commit adultery;
do not murder; do not steal;
do not bear false witness; do not lust”;
and if there is any other commandment, it is summed up in this word,
“You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”
10 Love works no ill to its neighbor,
therefore love is the fulfilling of the Law.

After the majority of factories were destroyed in Europe and Asia after WW2 we had the lions share of the market for manufactured goods on the planet. This caused a boom in production for expensive dependable (then) factory made products. The world wanted what we had, money. Now we are broke, 20 trillion?, in the hole and they can sell cheaper here than we can we can build. Make no mistake when the world stops taking our IOU's our standards of living will be over.
