On the Flip Side

In the aftermath of the election, the arguments and discussions are not the final say of the matter. Fortunately, as a Christian, I can be assured that my God who is absolutely Sovereign, has directed the outcome in the way he chooses. This brings peace in the midst of the storm. Now when I say God, let me be clear that I am talking about the God described in the Holy Bible between Genesis 1:1 and the end of The Revelation. This one God, God Almighty is the ultimate power and authority. Even when we see Iran, North Korea and Venezuela combine all of their resources, they are no match for God's little finger.

Then does that mean the United States has absolutely nothing to worry about. No, I did not say that. God has made an everlasting covenant with only one nation, and that is Israel. He has expanded that covenant to now include the spiritual Israel, which is the church, the body of Christ. There are no other covenants established with nations.

The United States, like all nations, can only rely on God's mercy to escape judgment. The U.S. is continuing to move away from all the things that honor God, both in government and people's lives. God has blessed our country, and if it is due to anything, it is the Christian foundation of our nation. However, that history will not hold back God's wrath, when He decides it is time.

Act 4:11, 12 ESV
11 This Jesus is the stone that was rejected by you, the builders, which has become the cornerstone.
12 And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved."

Every Christian must then find the balance between leaving it all up to God and each of us doing our part. I won't attempt to tell you where that line is, but I will tell you to commit yourself to glorify God as you make that determination.

God Bless You,
Dennis
