Today’s Thought “Presumed Prosperity” G. Ward

“In the year of King Uzziah’s death I saw the Lord sitting on a throne, lofty and exalted, with the train of His robe filling the temple.” Isaiah 6:1

King Uzziah governed Israel for 52 years. In today’s governance his unemployment rate would have been 1%, gas prices .50 per gallon and mortgage borrowing rates practically non-existent. Militarily, Uzziah was a strong leader, ensuring peace, while promoting complacency among God’s people along with furthering their dependence on this king. Holy God struck him with a disease, killing him for invading the priestly office, violating the commands of God.

Our elections can promote an attitude in complacency and dependence on a re-source vs. the Source and an arrogant plight demonstrated by some may include ultimate political demise. While you await your candidate’s victory, never forget that every political outcome won’t surprise our Lord (cf. Ro.13:1-4), but can spur despair for many, permitting every believer’s responsibility in sharing that TRUTH (Jn.14:6) never disappoints…

Happy Tuesday!
