Today’s Thought “An Editorial on Election Results” G. Ward

 

Colossians 3: ¹⁵ Let the peace of Christ, to which you were indeed called in one body, rule in your hearts; and be thankful. 

 

While many institutions of faith entertain opinions concerning who governs (locally or nationally), our Lord insists we know every decision of man is short lived and whereas God’s Word shall ever be, make your every determination as a believer to be far less impacted by hope for the world (indicative of being an enemy of the cross), by remaining in tune to what our Savior provided and mimic HIS relationship with Caesar’s government (Matt.22:21). Moreover, pulpits are sharing short-lived perspectives to delineate potential political gain while shouting the Lord is our Shepherd and we shall not want; while angry with those perpetuating their priesthood, through an ambassadorship that solely proclaims HIS Sufficiency (*meaning believers lack nothing essential when united with Him, preparing even, by a daily recognition of their heavenly citizenry). When these castigations from pulpits share freely those critiques of the brethren seemingly un-involved, more sin – tagged divisiveness is purported and congregants are more taught to teeter-totter with faith in Christ.

 

Father God, while many failures exist in all of us, a daily pursuit in Your Word transforms us to best prioritization in this life provided by Christ and our joy in being owned by our Gentle Savior owes more and more each day. So, we pray for every believer’s peace to significantly surface and overwhelm wrongful thoughts that leads to activity not worthy for Heaven’s view, so You’ll receive ALL the glory, through Jesus we pray, Amen.
