I will start out my comments by saying that my standards are Bible based. I believe that the 66 books of the Bible are the inspired word of God without error and for all time. I use it as my final authority to base my decisions in life. "For the Word of God is living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing as far as the division of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart." (Hebrews 12:4) - I got chills just typing that out. ........so here goes.
Regarding the future election and America's destiny/fate:
Daniel 2:20-22
"20 Daniel said, Let the name of God be blessed forever and ever,
For wisdom and power belong to Him.
21 It is He who changes the times and the epochs;
He removes kings and establishes kings;
He gives wisdom to wise men
And knowledge to men of understanding.
22 It is He who reveals the profound and hidden things;
He knows what is in the darkness,
And the light dwells with Him."
I am so thankful that God's wisdom supersedes our inability to really know the future of America's economic status, health care concerns, and moral values based on either candidates promises. I am fearful that we are looking at electing a lesser/greater of two evils. God is sovereign and the outcome of this election will not surprise Him. Both candidates have shaky characters. I am not impressed by either one. In my opinion, it's not about the "Haves or Havenots" as someone I know put it. In America, we (including me) have bought into the concept of "me, myself, and I" and not the concept found in Philippians 2:3 "Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves.
I found a quote that sums up my thoughts pretty clearly:
"Is the United States a Christian nation? Not in its philosophy, or in what it loves, or in what it does. Despite its Christian roots and heritage, the United States today is a nation that follows the god of self, and that is not the heart of Christianity." author unknown
It's only a matter of time before God will draw the line. He is patient but his patience has boundaries (i.e. days of Noah, Sodom and Gomorrah, the fall of Babylon). If America continues in her quest for self- indulgence and self-absorption, we too will see devastation as a result of depending on and exalting self rather than God.
I, too, am a victim of Satan's lie. I really like the way Beth Moore states it..."Satan has pimped Babylon on us"... meaning Satan has used our self-indulgent culture to entice us from our first love ...God.
However, I have resolved to become counter-culture, being aware of my surroundings, and digging myself into the Word of God, and centering my life on Christ as my only goal. Like Paul, I want my ambition to be this:
"I don’t mean to say that I have already achieved these things or that I have already reached perfection. But I press on to possess that perfection for which Christ Jesus first possessed me. No, dear brothers and sisters, I have not achieved it,but I focus on this one thing: Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead, I press on to reach the end of the race and receive the heavenly prize for which God, through Christ Jesus, is calling us." (Philippians 3:12-14)
