Former Australian Prime Minister Talks About God’s Work In Politics
Most politicians tend to write books about what they’ve done while
in office. But Scott Morrison, a former Prime Minister of Australia, wanted to
write about what God has done and continues to do for him. Morrison is candid
about how God brought him through some of the most harrowing days of his
leadership of Australia, a country not known for its religious fervor. And
that’s what makes Morrison’s faith all the more interesting. One would expect
such devout beliefs in America, a country that Morrison greatly admires. But
the land down under is a bit of a head scratcher. Founded as a penal colony for
the United Kingdom, Australia had a rough and tumble beginning. On this episode
of Lighthouse Faith podcast, Morrison talks about his book “Plans For Your
Good: A Prime Minister’s Testimony Of God’s Faithfulness.” It’s based on
the Old Testament prophet Jeremiah’s prescient words to the children of Israel,
and to us, “‘For I know the plans I have for you,’ says the Lord. ‘They
are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.'” In
this political season, such comforts are words to cling to.
