Not Going Political...Promise

Genesis 15:6Amplified Bible, Classic Edition (AMPC)
And he [Abram] believed in (trusted in, relied on, remained steadfast to) the Lord, and He counted it to him as righteousness (right standing with God).

Psalm 33:4-6Amplified Bible, Classic Edition (AMPC)
For the word of the Lord is right; and all His work is done in faithfulness.
He loves righteousness and justice; the earth is full of the loving-kindness of the Lord.
By the word of the Lord were the heavens made, and all their host by the breath of His mouth.

Jeremiah 17:5New Life Version (NLV)
The Lord says, “Cursed is the man who trusts in man, who trusts in the flesh for his strength, and whose heart turns away from the Lord.

It is something we have a hard time avoiding right now…political bantering and bashing.  No, I’m not going political.  I promise.  I’m always the first one out of the conversation when it comes to those discussions.  However, I know the stress of everyone and this election.  I see it on social media and all around me.  I hear it daily on the radio, TV, and through whispers.  However, in the midst of those discussions and whispers we are forgetting that God has got a plan.  

God brought his people out of Egypt and let them wander in the wilderness for 40 years.  Why did they wander in the wilderness that long?  Because of their lack of obedience and faith.  Abraham was asked to take his son Isaac up to the mountain to sacrifice him.  He didn’t hesitate, he was obedient.  

God sees the bigger picture and we don’t.  We may never understand, He is the King of this world.  We need to stay strong in our faith and be obedient.  Share the word to a torn world.  Yes, our future president does make a difference in today’s time, but does he/she make a difference in eternity?  I think not.  He is with us ALWAYS.

Enjoy!



Be blessed!
