Another government
crisis; what is a citizen to do? Let me preface my opinions today by saying
that I thank God daily He put me in America. I am a patriot and have served my
country like my dad and my son. I pray daily for the President and those who
represent us as I know many of them do care about those they represent. On the
other hand there is a spirit of pride in Washington that is bigger than Mount
Rushmore! Men and women who were elected to govern the American people have
turned a democratic process into a personal agenda process.
The modern
tactics they use to stir the American people makes social media the new
battleground for issues; not the senate or congressional floor. Listening to the radio
yesterday as I was headed home from church one reporter said, “If we have a government
shutdown the food inspectors will be laid off and some of them are those who
monitor our baby food.” Are you kidding
me? I said. I actually talk back to the radio just like I do the TV sometimes.
I thought what a fear tactic! We love our babies and if anything would threaten
our babies’ food we will get very angry over that!
Let me tell
you what the secular media and government won’t; God is in control. Mere men
are arrogant and prideful enough to think that they actually have power over
everything and that is why they can never reach a decision without a political
uproar. Whether you want to believe it or not our elected officials care more
about who gets the credit for something rather than solving an issue regardless
of who has the best idea!
Well, enough
of political opinions, which is not what really matters; no really, it does not
really matter. Jesus said seek first the Kingdom of God and all else will fall
into place. I am not a Republican or a Democrat; I am a Christian, a Christ
follower, a servant of the King. Therefore all this political stuff is the
result of men trying to run things their way for thousands of years and will
continue that way until King Jesus comes back to fix it all.
So, don’t
worry, be faithful. Fear not a government shutdown. Governments have risen and
fallen, societies have risen and fallen and will continue to do so until Gods
plan for humanity is fulfilled. Do not depend on any government to save you,
only Jesus can do that. Put your faith and trust in Him and become a kingdom
heir; an eternal kingdom without end. [1] And this is the plan: At the right time he
will bring everything together under the authority of Christ—everything in
heaven and on earth.
