"...God delights in concealing things, scientists delight in discovering things. Like the horizons for breadth and the ocean for depth, the understanding of a good leader is broad and deep." Prov. 25:1-2 from the Message Bible
If you've been alive, walking , & breathing for any length of time here on this earth, one thing you've probably already realized is this - we can't always figure out God! We just don't always know what He's doing, we can't see the big picture He sees, we can't fully understand His ways, except for what He's willing to reveal to us. Frustrating at times I know, but it does make me so glad I can fully trust our lives to Him, because of that very reason...He does know what He's doing and He loves us & has such amazing purpose in His plans for us.
In the same way, we can't always fully understand the decisions our rulers, or those in authority over us, make. I'm reminded that we don't always know what they know, we don't have the same information, we may not be seeing the full picture they are seeing, that's where trust comes in again. And that, I know, can also be hard at times.
In these days ahead, the political scene in our nation will continue to heat up and be in the spotlight of every news segment & media avenue. I encourage you (& myself!) to become more informed, so that we can have a part in electing a leader in America that we can trust - trust the choices he is committing to make, trust that God is at work within him to enable him to be a good leader & to make wise choices for our nation. Check out http://www.pray-the-vote.org/, an incredible website that I've learned soooo much from already. Because one thing is clear, you can't always trust what you hear in the news, that's for sure! Praying that God will give us wisdom and the motivation to stay involved & be informed, especially over these next few crucial months. Bless you today friend!
