I knew that would get your attention.
I have been thinking about this upcoming election and what it could mean for America. I've read a lot of posts on this site from people who are worried about Barak Obama winning. It's almost as if you guys think God is pulling for the Republicans to win or something. Something dawned on me a little bit ago, while I was responding to a post from TRFrance. God is neither Republican nor Democrat. Both those designations are man made. God is holy and both parties fall equally short on doing anything to "represent" God in this country. Having a Republican or Democrat in the White House isn't gonna make a bit of difference in God's plans for mankind. Either party isn't going to hasten or delay the coming of the Lord.
With that in mind, I don't see why we get so caught up in politics. Good Lord! It's even affected how we refer to each others as brothers. This one is a conservative, that one is a liberal, that one is a moderate, yada, yada. Don't get me wrong. I believe in voting. I have just realized that we make our choices for selfish reasons. "I support candidate x because I agree with him/her on such and thus, etc. etc." It all boils down to getting our way. You can't convince me it's God leading you to vote this way or that way, because Brother So and So, who supports the other side, believes God is leading him as well, and we all know God isn't going to pull against Himself. It just seems to me like this whole stinkin mess is an exercise in vanity. God knows the end from the beginning and things are going to happen how they were meant to happen, in the time they were meant to happen because God planned for them to happen this way. We aren't in control of nuthin. It's all in His hands.
I don't know why I decided to post this. Just rambling, I guess. I honestly think Barak Obama is going to win this election. I may be wrong. Won't be the first time either. I just don't think it's going to mean as much as we like to believe it will. God is our Source. Not the republicans, not the democrats, not our jobs, not the welfare system, not the UN, not any of these things. We could lose everything we have; houses, cars, jobs, the very clothes on our backs. It still wouldn't change the fact that God is our Source. I've got several scriptures screamin at me inside my head right now.
Not gonna post them, though. I'm just gonna sit here and thank God for being my Source. Carry on.
