Today’s Thought “If I Were King of the Forest…” G. Ward

Matthew 24:35 “Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will not pass away.”

All the political hyperbole is seemingly extinguished as the mid-term elections have been settled. America however is more indicative of particles smoldering in the forest subject for spark that may become an inferno.

The political scope in such a democracy is said to be determined by conviction (social, cultural and moral) from its constituents. While all three remain argumentative (cf. Ac.2:44), rarely is there over-riding contentment with theocratic positioning (1 Sa.8). Moreover, governance imposed from godly mandates for our time desire to merely include arrogant posture (*Eph.2:8-9) that denies abortion and appropriate original intent for gender activity. Then, other factions passionately advocate for social reform (i.e. health and welfare), making that notion a bully-pulpit. Both may be great and many of us have enjoined ourselves both voluntarily and involuntarily over the years to witness little to no change (*Ro.3:4). Our frustrations and joy rise and fall, while peace is forsaken and perpetuation in “what needless pain we bear, all because we do not carry everything to God in prayer.”

Failing to trust in the gentle, merciful rule of the All-Wise Savior is without blue or red tint (cf. 2 Cor.6:2).
