Early November 7, I was very discouraged, not at who lost
the Presidential Election, but who won!
The person (and the party) is a proponent of excessive, aggressive
abortion (not only abortion on demand, but by a simple request for any reason);
the lose of religious freedom of Christian institutions, organizations, and missions;
excessive debt and taxation; gay marriage; symbolism over substance;, forced
health insurance that is extremely expensive and will bankrupt the country and
the lose of good health care for all; the result of many poor worldwide being
adversely effected by the millions of US jobless as a result of his policies;
anti-protective military; anti-Israel; an anti-constitutionalist; and many
other factors.
Yes, many are even greatly disappointed and embarrassed by actions
of fellow citizens swayed emotionally to vote for such a person and party.
This morning I was reading Proverbs 7 and the description of
a man (a people) who follow after the deceptions of others. “Suddenly
he follows her (the deceived following the deceptive one) as an ox goes to the
slaughter, or as one in fetters to the discipline of a fool” (Proverbs
7:22).
Romans One describes how God gives people “over to the lust
of their flesh.” This is where we are
these days. People voted for a party of sugar-daddies,
of Santa Clauses, who give everything but really only provides gifts which enslave!
Praise God we can continue to trust Him as He is the one who
raises up and puts down leaders, and He even uses the evil of men to praise
Him.
Even though dark, difficult days are here, this is exactly
the time we, as Christians, need to shine and vote daily with the gospel and
Christ-like lives shining in the darkness for His glory!
