The hot topic of politics!!

This isn't really a post on what I think or believe about politics as much as it is a small note of encouragement in this crazy political time of a new presidential election.  I think many Americans are nervous about who and what and how and I think it is warranted worry.  However, I know a King who is much greater and much more capable and much more willing to carry the weight of this world…not just this nation.  We can trust Him even when we feel we can't trust anything around us.

I wonder, a bit, if our fear isn't more an issue of our comfort than our journey of salvation.  We have been very protected in this country as Christians, but I would like to remind everyone that we have an enemy that is out to steal, kill and destroy us.  Satan is beginning to be the leading force in our world.  We can look at the amount of murders, sexual slavery and assaults, abuse of children and animals and not to mention that more people seem to desire things that are called "evil." I remember a time that if something was named "evil empire" that it would have only had the underdog of underdogs there and it would be the same people over and over.  Now, it is mainstream.  People wearing the shirts and promoting the business as cool.  We need to be more aware that we are comfortable than fearing the things that make us uncomfortable.

So, no matter what happens this November.  Stand strong.  Keep your head up.  Greater is He who is in you than he that is in the world.  We do not have to fear as Christians.  We need to be wise as serpents and gentle as lambs.  We need to let the Holy Spirit guide us each and every day so that we know that our next move is His move. Be encouraged that Jesus will come and get us and if we die in the mean time…we still WIN!!  :)
