The writer of Hebrews writes: “Your throne, O God, is for ever and ever, and the righteous scepter
is the scepter of His kingdom, You have loved righteousness and hated
lawlessness; Therefore God, Your God, has anointed You with the oil of gladness
above Your companions” (Heb. 1:8-9).
Later in Hebrews we read: “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, and
today and forever” (Heb. 13*). Now back
to Hebrews one: “And, You, Lord, in
the beginning laid the foundation of the earth and the heavens are the works of
Your hands” (Heb. 1:10).
Hey Gang: I am not
sure If I am going through the post-election jitters or just plain worn out
from the constant diet of those who want to be residents of the Beltway
establishment (commonly referred to as “Gridlock City”. I have felt throughout the electron process
that we would see a tiny hint of God’s intention for this rebellious Nation.
My prayer was to give our President, who has kept his
promises to the people, something no other President, in recent years has done,
two more years of like-minded people to support his agenda. I confess I was first confused, then
disappointed and even angry when I watched the polling numbers come in and
realized it as not God’s will that my request be honored. BUT this I know, God is not sitting in the
heavenlies wringing His hands over the misguided will of the people. He has not
even making a correction in His plan for this age. You can take it to the bank that planet earth
is right on His time lines.
Well, today is Friday- and confusion, disappointment and
anger have subsided – subsided yes, but not gone completely. The Christian gurus, who are much wiser
then I in the world of politics and prognostications of what this all means,
have taken a more positive attitude towards the outcome. Their drift seems to be two years down the
road, when the Presidential election comes to the forefront this will probably assure
his reelection and a regathering of the House under the covering of the more conservative
influences of the lands.
At 85 years of age, I tend to look more at the now and
confess I have a very nauseating feeling deep in the pit of my stomach, for we
are in for two years of a new level of hatred in the Beltway as the ‘not so
loyal opposition’ will dig into everything from what kind of toothpaste he uses
to what color sox our President wears.
But is there a deeper meaning to all of this. Has this election exposed a flaw in the
two-party system? George Washington believed political parties have within them
the power to totally divide a nation, which we have seen escalate under the past
several Presidential regimes. He warned
in his farewell speech in 1776;
“You cannot shield
yourselves too much against jealousies and heart burnings which spring from
these misrepresentations; they tend to
render alien to each other those who ought be
found together by fraternal affection…they are likely, in the course of
timed and things, to become potent engines, by which cunning ambitions, and
unprincipled men will be enabled to subvert the power of the people and to
usurp for themselves the reins of
government, destroying afterwards the very engines which have lifted them to
unjust dominion”.
As I mentioned above, I am 85 and have been truly blessed by
Abba Father. I am not concerned for my
sake but for my children, grands and great grands. I feel shame in my heart for the world that I
am turning over to them. I also feel a
great sadness in my heart because I grew up in a wonderful, loving world where
people could sit down together and make decisions based on what is best for our
nation.
Have we passed the point of no return where sin has become
so dominate that the spiral towards the pit cannot not be rectified? Only if God’s patience has run out and He
adds USA to the long list other empires that turned their back on Him.
Blessings,
Gramps
