Something occurred to me today.....
I have never seen people in this country so fearful and divided on the political craziness going on. I will be the first to admit, I don't educate and keep up on it all like I should. I do see a few things though, I see people praying and crying out to God in a whole new way. I think most of it is out of fear, rather than anything else. That's fine....God hears us no matter what our motive.
This much I do know..........
God could fix this nation in one clearing of his throat - He wouldn't even have to get up - He SPOKE the world into existence....so he could give a slight EH - EMMMMM..... and everything could be in perfect order.
What if..........
He is watching all these people cry out to him for help and He sees the hearts and he knows that if he fixes our problems we all go on our merry way.
What if.............
He lets the chaos continue and we cry out to God because we are even more desperate and we turn to HIM for REAL, because HE is GOD, not just because we are in a big mess.
This much I know about myself...........
I pay more attention to God when I'm in a bad way - and when I remain in the - bad way - I often find out what I really needed was God to invade my heart, not just my problems. He is so much bigger and better and sweeter and more wonderful than an easy simple fix to my problems.
He is much too kind to only care about the things we can see and know and understand.
We call ourselves a Christian nation, which would imply that we are a Christ - like nation.
Maybe He is going to do what it takes to make this title true.
Don't think for a minute that I want to see the chaos continue or don't think I claim to know or understand God's ways...His thoughts are not my thoughts and His ways are not my ways. I know from scripture that God is much too kind and serious about his people to settle for a worldly temporary fix. He is loving enough to do what it takes to draw HIS PEOPLE TO HIMSELF. He will go to any length.
EVEN to the length of sacrificing His own Son, Jesus Christ our Lord and SAVIOR, so that
WE THE PEOPLE
may come to HIM.
He means business. Trusting He has this election in HIS best interest!
Praise Him in the storm.
