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.
