The Steps Of A Good Man.

  Psalm 37:23 says," The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord  and he delights in his way." On July 20, 1969 American,  astronaut Neil Armstrong, became the first man in history to walk on the moon and utter the now memorable quote, " One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind."I don't know a great deal about Neil Armstrong, he wasn't one to stay long in the spot light but from what I have heard on the news as it was being reported that he had died it seems those that knew him said he was a very humble man who never truly knew just how great he was and when  one  thinks  about it, isn't that true of all great people others, may know how great they are but they never do. I often wonder how many young men grew up and became astronauts because they were inspired by the accomplishment of Neil Armstrong. What Armstrong's accomplishment did for Americans,  in 1969 is still being experienced today. When Armstrong,  walked on the moon he gave Americans,  a much needed moment of hope. The nation was in the middle of the Vietnam War and the strife brought on from the war caused a cultural civil war between older Americans and the youth of the day.When Armstrong,  landed  and walked on the moon however, it seemed for a moment the nation was united and once again Americans,  could believe that if everyone could work together with enough skill and a strong will and determination anything was possible. I believe that is still true if Americans, believe in and remember who it is that makes all things possible. God,  is the author of inspiration and he is the spark in imagination and the foundation of genius even if at times much of mankind,  refuses to acknowledge his existence.
  I'm afraid  that over the years since man first walked on the moon  Americans, have become at times to confident in their own devices God,  has blessed this nation but with year after year of  successful technological advancement many living  in American society today,  don't feel the need for God,  as they once did when this nation was in it's early development.Americans,  need to remember America,  is a nation under God,  and as such all of her blessings  come from him. Therefore, whatever new steps America, takes as a nation Americans, should see to it that they have looked to God,  for his guidance because the steps of a good nation are indeed ordered by the Lord. As always, my friends, these thoughts remain, just, some words, to think on.
