Election Thoughts
With all the hoopla and angst lately because of the upcoming presidential election you might be thinking, as I am, it’s a good time for prayer. There is, after all, a lot at stake. If we end up with a far-left-leaning president, as well as congress we will also eventually most likely end up with left-leaning supreme court justices being added to the bench. What we see as attempts to stifle expression of our Christian beliefs now may evolve into actual persecution. The fact that most people automatically think, “It can’t happen here” just makes it easier for it all to come to pass. So, I do hope we will all pray for His help.
The most common prayer I hear on behalf of our nation, though, is basically, “God bless the United States of America”, as if it’s something we can always count on, no matter what we have done in our lives.
Well, God has already blessed the United States of America. He has done it for more than 200 years now, and look at the state we’re in. Think about our society as a whole. It is a society that has slowly slid away from guidance clearly given in the Bible to embrace tolerance of, and outright participation in, lifestyles it specifically denounces. It’s no wonder there is so much injustice nowadays.
So, consider carefully what it is you pray for. Do we deserve more of God’s blessings, or do we deserve His judgment? I, for one am praying for God’s mercy upon the United States of America.
