I am not a very political person. Monte is, he knows way more about what's going on in the world than I could ever think about knowing. I know what I believe in, I know what the bible says & if I don't I do my best to find out. So I'm not completely clueless, I just don't pay much attention. So this morning as the news was on they were talking about the president, shock right?, one story was about somebody in Fort Wayne who clearly doesn't like the man, & another was about celebrities bashing him at some awards show. I wasn't paying attention at first, Monte was, I heard mumbles & groans & started paying attention. Then I started thinking, okay, there are people who absolutely loathe him, your gonna have that, I'm pretty sure there's not been one yet who people haven't felt that way about, but really the absolute bottom line is, instead of all the nasty remarks, pouting b/c your person didn't win, marching, rioting, just down right hatefulness, pray for him!!!! I know that seems like something you wouldn't want to do, especially if you don't like him, but maybe look at it like this...He may be in charge of the country, but ultimately, God is in charge of ALL!!! And He says in 1Timothy 2:1&2- I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession & thanksgiving be made for all people---for kings & all those in authority, that we may live peaceful & quiet lives in all godliness & holiness. So it's pretty simple, or it seems like it should be--no matter who's at the whitehouse--we've got to pray for them. That's kinda our part. We want peaceful lives filled w/ godliness & holiness, we've got to pray. So lets do our best to do that. Praying Gods wisdom & knowledge on all those making choices & decisions on our behalf. That's how the difference is going to be made, not by being hateful, but by praying!!! Let's start today.
