Thought For The Day

Surprised?

We’re almost to the 20th of January, 2021. It appears a number (guessing is fruitless) of Americans are surprised at the outcome of the 2020 Presidential and Congressional elections. No doubt there is change in the air, and as I write this it is looking like the Democrat Party will rule from all three branches of Government. That may mean there will be several (???) changes in the way we move forward, or Government may sink into a massive log jam of conflicting opinions and not much will change – at least immediately.

What has occurred, and what is coming may be a mystery to many, but not to God. Scripture is clear. He, Infinite, Omniscient, Omnipotent, and Omnipresent, will still be in control of the Cosmos – which  includes the Blue Planet in our section of the Universe. He is not surprised, nor disposed to concern, nor suffering from the shock of mankind’s choices. and will not be changing His eternal Will to fit the circumstances. What is here is what has always been coming, and the future may look bright or bleak in men’s eyes, but the Lord of Hosts, Jehovah, Yahweh, or what ever other name you may use, is simply allowing that which He foreknew prior to speaking this World, and us, into existence.

America has been, and I hope and pray always will be, a great and powerful Nation with  basic freedoms, intelligent laws, and a society of educated citizens (by-in-large). We have dreamed of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, all the while sticking close to our beliefs that we are a “Nation Under God.” It is clear to any thinking person that those ideals  have, to one degree or another, faded, failed or been changed by the prevalent pursuit of Godlessness, broken homes and families, and greed for wealth and power. It is my opinion that if we do not reverse that course, we will soon be lost in the wilderness of unimaginable  ignorance and despair. Civil War, which many are wanting to purge from our history, is, once again, at the very door of our Society. We are a divided people, caught in the nightmare of bad choices and poor leadership.

Perhaps our only hope is in the Churches of America. Even there the Truth is hard to find. Clarity and authority are missing from the equation, and there appears to be a possibility that political correctness will cut them out of our society once and for all. Our Ship of State is on the rocks, and the prevailing wind is against us. But God is  not asleep, nor deaf to our cries. Voices grow weaker, strength to hold out wavers, and the stamina of youth extinguishes the faithfulness of the aged warriors who have stood with America under God, and the battle is being lost in the destructive, and futile attempt of those who wish to become a god themselves.

The light of humanity is going out. The Light of the World is coming!
